Naruto, Maya, and Aya stood behind the academy, near a batch of trees. “Okay, so this is how we will do this.” Naruto began. “Whoever is it, has to find the other two. We can’t leave the school grounds. Weapons that can be used are swords, no projectiles, and no jutsu.”
“Wait a second.” Maya said, confused. “Why would we need weapons for hide and seek?”
The smirk that appeared on Naruto’s face allowed her to take a small guess that this as no ordinary game of hide and seek.
“I am so happy you asked that question, my dear.” Replied Naruto cheerfully. “In this game, we each will put something up for grabs. Like your sword, forehead protector, or my book.” Naruto pulled out a black leather book, which is closed tightly by clasp for example.
“What would be the purpose of taking the object?” Came Aya’s inquisitive question. Naruto turned his head towards her, clearly happy with the question.
“Another excellent question.” Naruto sang. “It in turn would be type of insurance that we were caught.” He explained. The blond tilted his head up in thought for a second before grinning. “I guess this is more like capture the flag than hide and seek.” Naruto turned his head towards Aya and nodded. “Anyway, you can use any means to take our ‘flag’, stealing, fighting, etc.”
Maya stared, slightly disturbed by this. Did they not just finish fighting? Couldn’t she rest for like an hour, before they started this?
Letting out a sigh, the silver haired girl leaned back against the tree, looking off to the side. Her eyes held no interest for this. “Ok….So, do we each go after each other?” Maya asked. Naruto turned to her frowning.
“Don’t sound so enthusiastic.” Replied Naruto sarcastically.
“Well I’m sorry. We didn’t just waste a whole lot of energy fighting a jounin for our test.” Maya retorted, rolling her eyes.
“That’s why I decided on this. So we can have a little rest before anything else.” Naruto said.
“Yea, yea, yeah, now answer the question.” Maya said. Naruto hummed turning his head toward Aya.
“Nope. It’s still…..Wait, yeah. That would work perfectly.” Naruto let out happily. Maya eyelids dropped a bit, giving him a blank look.
“You don’t even have all the rules down yet.” Maya said.
“So?” Naruto shot back dismissingly. “Anyway, we each have a 7 minute window to find a start area. At the end of the seven minutes, we will begin the count-down to our start, which will be a minute.” Naruto said nodding.
“Alright, should we present the objects we will be fighting for?” Aya asked with a smile. Naruto turned to her and nodded.
“That’s an idea.” Naruto said. “I’ll use my book.” Naruto said holding it out. Aya hummed in response, looking up at the sky. After a moment she looked down nodding, digging into her pocket.
“I’ll use this.” She said, showing a palm size good luck amulet. The rectangle charm is covered by a blue cloth, which is decorated with flower designs. A golden color rope was tied around the top, keeping the talisman inside the covering.
Maya stared for a second, both of them turning their head towards her. She let out a small smile before holding her katana out. “I’ll use this as my flag.” She said, jadedly.
Naruto nodded, letting out a sigh. “Alright, now that we are agreed, let’s head out.” Naruto said, highly excited. Both of them nodded, before all three of the preteens disappeared, vanishing in a blurred.
Naruto stopped at the track, deciding to wait there. It took him about 2 minutes to get there which means; he had just about 6 minutes left. He plopped down on the ground a second later; deciding to rest down for a bit.
            Naruto sat up, counting down the last 10 seconds in his head, deciding to stand once he reached one. He stretched a bit, looking off at the school. He turned his head a little towards the building. Thinking about the two of them, Aya-chan would properly position herself somewhere near the school. Maya, she probably didn’t move too far off, her attitude was enough to tell him that she wasn’t too into this. Gathering his chakra to his forehead, the blonde shot it out as he began to move, looking for his two friends.
            Naruto strolled off toward the school, the decision made to find Aya first. On his way, the blonde hummed lowly, letting his mind wonder about the simple things in life. Like, why Hebi-chan hadn’t wore any panties today. He thought she sported a thong earlier when he slapped her butt, but when he tried to take them off, he noticed there wasn’t any straps. Weird, he should not ask her about them, he’ll get his ass beat. Wait, she had to know he knew. There was no way she couldn’t feel his hands. Oh well, thank goodness Maya didn’t notice.
            A huge smile came on the boy’s face, what fun, oh what fun, he would have. A hum left his mouth, his smile disappearing. He spun quickly, his left hand lashing out, grabbing onto the sneaky appendage. “Nice try, Maya-chan.” Naruto let out.
Naruto lips twisted in a grin, the image of the scowl that was present of her face appeared in his mind. “I don’t get why you tried, you can’t sneak up on me.” Nartuo mocked.
            Maya’s scowl quickly changed into a small smile. “Well, fortunately that wasn’t the plan.” Maya replied. Naruto tilted his head slightly confused.
His mouth dropped in realization, his silver haired friend’s hand ripping from his grasp. His right hand went to his hilt as he jumped to the right. The sound of feet landing softly on the ground entered his ears. Naruto landed a second later a chakra wave alerting him to the newcomer.
It was Aya, of course. But this time she had her katana out, the blue sheath, nestled under a makeshift strap made from a white obi, now around her waist.
Naruto’s mouth twitched. He realized quickly, what was going on. “Really?” Naruto let out, spreading his legs. “You two are double teaming me?” A smirk appeared on his face, his stance lowering just a bit. “Bring it.”
At that Maya laughed out, her voice echoing throughout the area. Her cousin on the other hand quickly took her stance, spreading her legs shoulder length apart. Her right arm lowered down in front of her, the tip of the sharp blade pointing towards Naruto chest.
Maya drew her katana, the huge smile not wavering a bit. “Challenging us to a kenjutsu match? Funny.” She said. Maya dropped the scabbard. She turned a bit, spreading her legs apart. She held the blade just about as low as her abdomen, the tip pointing behind her.
“Is it now?” Naruto replied back, chuckling. His chuckling stopped after a second, a frown now present on his whiskered face. “I did say we could use jutsu right?” Naruto asked, locking onto the two.
“No.” Aya replied, blinking. After a second a smirk appeared on her face.
“Oh yeah, you so lost.” Maya gloated.
Without a seconds delay, Naruto dashed forward. He closed the distance between them fairly quickly. Upon reaching the brunette, the young blonde, in one motion drew and swung his blade at her.
In response to his rush, Aya leapt back, avoiding the blade by a good margin. She landed, watching Maya move to action, aiming her attack towards Naruto’s neck. Aya’s left eye twitched, her breath slightly hitching at the sight.
Clang!
His blade bashed against Maya’s knocking her sword off course. She released the breath she hadn’t realized she held, before dashing toward him, slowly down just a bit, knowing he would be able to react to her.
            Naruto caught the sound of footsteps heading toward him and slid back away from the silver haired girl. He twisted his body, swinging his katana at the incoming sword. His blade struck hers, sparks flying off it. A frown appeared on his face, the image of Aya being thrown off balance appearing in his mind. ‘I wasn’t even really trying.’ He thought. Realizing she was holding back Naruto turned his attention back to Maya.
She came fast, her blade positioned to pierce him. He weaved to his right, avoiding the sharp tip. He took a few steps away from her, his sword rising quickly intercepting the sword coming for his chest. He quickly pushed her blade back, sending her stumbling a bit.
Naruto’s attention quickly went to Aya, who had made her way behind him. He spun quickly, bringing his arm up for an overhead strike. The attack was promptly blocked, but he kept up the pressure, trying to push her to her knees. He heard her grunt lowly, straining herself in order to kept him at bay.
“You’re open!” Maya let out, appearing under him, her sword reeled back. Naruto’s growled, his sword sliding down Aya’s. Naruto made the split second decision, to stab his katana into the ground, stopping the progress of her blade. He turned his head back to Aya before flipping over his sword. The image of Maya sliding around his blade appeared in his mind, his blade ripping from the ground.
            Maya watched, the blonde doing two backflips, ending in a crouch a few meters away. A smile came to her face as she stood. “I have to say, pretty good.” The girl praised.
“You should already know this Maya-chan.” Naruto replied proudly. “There isn’t much I can’t kick your lovely ass in.” Maya snickered, almost expecting such an arrogant reply.
“Then let’s continue.” Maya challenged. She glanced back at Aya giving a little hum. “Stop holding back. Naruto can take it.” Aya looked at her, stunned that she figured it out.
“But, the two of us…”
“You know him; he wouldn’t be this arrogant if he couldn’t back it up.” Maya said. Aya stared at her blankly before turning her sights on Naruto.
“Yes he would.” The brunette replied, surely. Maya turned to her slightly surprise, before smiling, laughing a bit.
“Then, let’s test it.” Maya dashed off first, barely giving her cousin any time to agree. Aya followed a few seconds after.
            Naruto grinned, before he dashed away, heading back to the track. The soft thumps of their feet alerted him of their position behind him. He chuckled, wondering what got Maya so in to this. He avoided a tree, spinning around it and pressing his back against the jagged bark. He held his breath, the Natsume cousins dashing by him. The sliding of Aya’s heavier feet, informed him that he was noticed.
            Naruto charged forward, the air pressing against him. Aya swung first, which the blond predicted. He flipped over the brunette landing in-between the two girls, facing Aya. A grin came to his face, his body twisting, his sword lashing out toward the silver haired girl behind him.
            She blocked it with relative ease, which he expected. With a burst of speed, he spun his body, lashing out towards Aya’s leg. He heard a small grunt, the sound of flapping clothes followed. ‘She jumped.’ He thought. He ducked quickly; his hair ruffling roughly, something that he guessed to be a leg, flying over his head. Naruto didn’t stay stationary too long, opting to attack Maya.
            The young man found that it was quite the chore going back and forth between the two girls. He was in no real danger; he kept them both on the defensive, with quick spins, precise and well-timed strikes. Maya was already tired out, so she kept her blocking without even a hint of counter attacking. Aya on the other hand, was lashing out with kicks and punches which Naruto evaded easily enough. He had to wonder if this was a kenjutsu or taijutsu match.
            The blonde spun quickly, lashing out with his sword. He intercepted Maya’s blade which came down upon him. He had no time to contemplate her decision to attack now, the danger of an attack behind him coming to his attention. Making the split second decision to duck proved to be a good decision, Aya’s leg flying over his head.
Naruto rolled backward, ending in a crouch before leaping back. The audible sound of pants moving came to him, the image of Maya upon him quickly following. The blonde evaded her attack easily, her tired state making her a little bit sloppy. Ending up behind the girl, Naruto dashed towards the brunette. Leaping at her, his sword held up.
Their blades clashed, Aya quickly fending off his attack. Landing behind her, the young man spun around, aiming to sweep her legs. The sound of her feet pressing off the ground came to his ear. She jumped back. His motion completed, Naruto dashed at her, swinging his blade when in range. His attack was blocked by another blade, his head turning to his left.
His head turned back to the brunette just in time for her foot to smash into his chest. A grunt left his mouth, as he stumbled back. Regaining his footing the boy leapt back, sounds of clothes alerting him that one of them gave chase. Naruto raised his arm up, the image of the blue eyed girl appeared in his mind.
Crack!
Naruto grunted, Maya’s foot smashing against his wrist. His grip weakened, the blade dropping from his hand. Another foot smashed against his cheek, lifting his feet off the ground. Naruto flew to the left, his body twisting before he landed on the earth his katana in his left hand. Rotating his right hand around, the blonde winced. A grin appeared on his face, a chuckle leaving his mouth. “I guess that was useless.” Naruto said.
            “Yeah. Very.” Maya agreed with a smile. “But you suck in swordplay anyway.” Naruto frowned standing up.
“He’s alright.” Aya interjected. Maya looked at her and rolled her eyes.
“Yeah…for a beginner.” Maya taunted. Maya’s eyes shifted towards the ground, spotting Naruto in the middle of his dash. She gave a toothy grin, moving her sword down, blocking his attack whilst she backed up. Her eyes moved to Aya’s and she winked. She looked back at Naruto and moved her sword in its path.
                Maya started to sweat, a lot more then she originally was. Though she was faster than the boy, she couldn’t find any type of opening to counter attack. Her arms were actually starting to hurt, from the constant blows. She twisted her body and jumping to the left, he followed no missing a beat. She landed, quickly swinging her blade upward, hoping to stop his advancement. It didn’t work to well.
Naruto evaded, planting his sword into the ground before using it to spin and swept her legs from under her.
            Maya gritted her teeth as she begun to twist her body, trying to land on her hands and knees. Her plans were interrupted by a firm hand on her back, gripping her blouse. She was swung around before being tossed, towards a tree. “Whoa!” She let out, flipping. She managed to safely land on the tree. With a simple front flip, she took a new position on the ground, ready to go on the offensive. Or so she thought.
            Once again Maya was forced to raise her katana in defense, blocking an overhead swung. She stared at Naruto holding back his sword as he tried to force it down on her. “Damn….ugh” She let out, her knees slightly giving way. “I didn’t think you would get mad at that.”
            Naruto stopped adding pressure on her sword, “huh?” He let out. “I’m not angry.” He added more force as she grunted.
“Then…What’s up with the relentless attacks?” She asked, gritting her teeth. Naruto grinned, a thought coming up.
“Easy.” He said, quickly drawing his sword back, his left hand leaving the hilt. He scooped under the sword, grabbing it and ripping it from her grip. “So I can do this….Now it’s 15 to 14.” Maya growled letting her hands drop. “Mad?” He gloated taking a step back. He looked at her sword chuckling. “Soon I’m going to….” Naruto’s grin fell, feeling movement in his pouch.
Naruto moved quickly, turning slightly while swinging his arm out. The image of Aya stepping back appeared in his mind. Her hand was up and his black book was in her hand. Naruto stared, shocked at the turn of events. “I got your book…” Aya said stepping to him. She took Maya’s sword from his hand and looking at Maya, she smiled. “And I got your sword. So I win.”
Naruto mouth twitched, losing all energy to stand, the boy dropped to his knees. The genin threw his head back, his hands raised, his fingers clutching the air. “NOOOOOOO!” the blonde screamed, his voice echoing throughout the area. Aya covered her ears quickly, her face scrunched up in discomfort.
Maya’s foot lashed out quickly, striking the blonde on the back. “Ah!” He let out, his face landing in the dirt, sword out of hand.
“Why are you screaming?” Maya asked, displeased with the ringing in her ears. Naruto was up a second later, his face a few inches away from hers. Dirt fell off his whiskered cheeks, a scowl on his face.
“Why in the living hell did you kick me!?” Naruto asked his voice elevating. Maya glared, not liking his volume.
“Why the hell were you yelling? Do you even understand how sensitive my ears are?” Maya retorted.
“Not as sensitive as my ego!” Naruto let out.
Maya’s arms rose, her hand pressing against Naruto’s chest. With a hard push, she shoved the boy back a few steps. “You get beat all the time, what does one more matter?” She asked. Naruto recovered easily, growling.
“I get beat all the time?” Naruto asked, angrily stalking back over to her. “Then what about that time we fighting over that two headed coin huh? And that time…” Naruto stopped, turning his body quickly. He leapt at Aya, “Good Job, Aya-channn!”
            The girl expected this, seeing this quite a few times prior. She quickly stepped to the side, leaning her body away from his arms. Naruto flew by her, her eyes following his body. He recovered fairly quickly, his body arched to roll upon impact with the ground. She nodded in awe as he ended in a crouch. “Pretty good, Aya-chan.” Naruto praised, standing. Aya grinned, blushing at his complement.
“T-thanks.” She let out. He turned to her a grin plastered on his face.
“He’s going to try again.” Maya said nonchalantly. Aya blinked, Naruto’s lunge coming a second later. She ducked in the nick of the time, dodging the blonde once again. The tree behind her shook roughly, the body of the boy ramming into it.
“Ugh!” Naruto let out, falling to the ground. Aya stood up and looked behind her, slightly flinching at the impression in the tree.
“That had to hurt.” She whispered, her cousin walking up next to her.
“Yeah.” She agreed, nodding her head. She looked at her, rubbing her right arm “Want to go back inside? Your teacher might have arrived.” Aya looked at her before looking at Naruto, who was slowly making his way back to his feet.
“I don’t think he came yet, but checking is fine.” Aya said.
“Damn you, Maya-chan.” Naruto muttered, the sting of pain pinging his face. “How dare you snitch?”
“What was that?” Maya asked. Naruto turned to her scowling.
            Naruto wanted to scream out, ‘You snitched’, but he just wasn’t up to it right now. He wasn’t really drained or anything, he just didn’t feel like it….right now. “Nothing.” He said.
  Naruto walked over to his sword, scooping it up before sheathing it. A surge of pain ran through his wrist, his left hand quickly gripping it. “Ow.” He let out. Maya looked over at him, raising an eyebrow at him.
“Come on Naruto, I didn’t kick you that hard.” Maya said. Naruto turned to her, hissing a bit.
“The hell you did. I heard a crack.” Naruto growled.
“Heh! Stop being a bitch.” She let out, turning her head from him.
“Hmph,” was Naruto reply before he turned and started making his way to school. Maya hummed, walking over to her sheath and picking it up. She walked over to Aya and retrieved her sword. Sheathing the blade Maya began her trek after Naruto, Aya walking by her side doing the same.
            It didn’t take the two very long to catch up to Naruto. He was still nursing his wrist, when they reached him. “How’s your chest?” Aya asked, her voice contained genuine concern. Naruto hummed taking his left hand from his wrist and placing it on his chest.
“Hm….” Naruto let out rubbing sternum. “Stings a bit, but I’m fine.” Naruto said. A relieved sigh left her mouth causing Naruto to smile. She didn’t even hit him that hard.
“That’s good.” Aya said.
“Yea, now if only my wrist WASN’T BROKEN!” Naruto let out, turning his head to Maya.
Maya glared at him, “You act like a baby some times.” Maya said. A grin appeared on his face, his head turning to her.
“I know.” He said. “And some babies need to be spoiled.” Aya laughed at that, Maya on the other hand raised an eyebrow.
“No. Spoiling babies makes them into a brat.” Maya informed.
“Yeah your right, Maya-chan.” Naruto replied. Maya started at him. A sigh left her mouth and she looked away.
“I would hit you….but I’m too tired to care.” She said. Naruto looked at her, a huge smile on his face. “I will hit you if you grope me.” Maya glared at him, daring him to try. Naruto leaned over to Aya, cupping his mouth.
“Aya-chan….I think she can read minds” Naruto said. Aya leaned in as well, cupping her mouth.
“I don’t think so. You are just really predictable.” Aya whispered. Naruto jerked away from her, gasping loudly.
“I am not predictable.” Naruto exclaimed offended. Aya giggled rolling her eyes.
“Yes you are.” Aya said. Naruto face scrunched up, his nostrils flaring.
“Then what will I do now?” He asked.
“You are going to try and grope me to prove your point….and fail.” Aya said nodding. Naruto hummed, she was right….that was the idea.
“Dang, you’re right. Well almost.” Naruto said rubbing his chin. Aya stared at him, blinking a couple of times.
“Huh…Kya!” She let out, a hand smacking her butt.
“Yeah…I don’t fail” Naruto said smiling brightly. Her eyes widen, her right hand lashing out towards the boy. Naruto was quicker though, ducking under the strike before dashing forward, Aya hot on his tail.
            Maya watched them, a grin on her face showing her amusement. Naruto ducked and weaved through Aya’s flailing arms, avoiding all damage from the girl. Maya began laughing; Naruto’s weaving put him in awkward yet funny positions. Maybe being tired was enough of a tradeoff for a show like this.
            A breeze blew through the area, the shadows of leaves shifting across the ground, the sounds of the rustling foliage bearing over all other noises. A little way off, a figure shifted, flowing with the shadows of the forest. Standing a height of 5 feet 9 inches, the person stared down on them from its elevated position. Only the metal of the konoha issued forehead protector could be made out, if they were actively looking. Brown eyes stared down, watching as Naruto dodged capture from his friend. “Have all the fun you want, young fox. Vengeance will be upon you soon.” It came out as a whisper, a whispered that the sounds of nature blocked out. With another breeze, the shifting of the leaves hid the disappearance of the shadowy figure.
            Naruto stopped, his head tilting up. A grin appeared on his face, the breeze gently caressing his cheek. ‘Young fox? That’s a new one.’ Naruto thought. He turned his head just before hand slapped his face. “Owch!” He let out, falling to the ground, his cheek stinging red with pain. The image of Aya came to his mind, her angry form standing over him. “Hehehehe! Mercy please.” Aya stared at him frowning.
“I…don’t think I can.” She replied.
He grinned nervously, “Um…ok”. He got up quickly trying to dash away. ‘I guess I should watch out for anything strange.’
Naruto groaned, his head lying on the desk. Naruto lifted his head up, showing his bruised face to the world. Sakura jerked away, wondering what happened. “Why did you hit me?” He asked turning to Maya.
“Just because.” She replied, her voice muffled by her arms. Naruto huffed, turning away from her.
“Meanie.” He let out.
“Bitch.” Maya let out.
“Tight ass.” Naruto replied, turning back to her. Raising her head, she glared at the blonde.
“Crybaby.” Maya said. Naruto jerked slightly, tilting his head.
“Really? Crybaby? Is that the best you can come up with?” He asked.
“S-shut up. I’m tired.” Maya let out.
“But you’re not tired enough to refrain from hitting me.” He accused.
“You hit that nail on its head.” Maya said a grin on her face. Naruto frown at her, muttering something in audible to nearly all in the class.
            Naruto laid his head back on the table but was forced to move his head, out of fear of the incoming damage that would be dealt to his cranium. The table snapped in half, the image of a katana breaking it in two coming to his mind. He leapt back landing on a table just behind him. “Maya!” Aya shouted, surprised.
“What?” Maya let out looking at her. “This isn’t my fault.” Maya rebutted. Her eyes moved over to Naruto who frowned. “It was obviously Naruto’s doing.”
“What? You just broke it!” He accused, a finger pointing at her.
“I have no idea what you’re talking about. And don’t think you can push the blame onto somebody else.” She stood as she replied, looking at her clear nails.
“I have a room full of witnesses!” The blonde exclaimed. Maya eyes moved to Aya, Sakura, and then Sasuke before returning to Aya. With a wink and a smile, the girl turned back to Naruto frowning.
“I’m pretty sure everyone here would agree with me.” Maya said. Looking back at everyone she smiled. “Who here saw Naruto break the table?” She asked. Sasuke’s hand went up first, if only to pay the blonde back for that comment earlier. Sakura’s soon followed deciding to join in with the object of her affection. Maya looked at Aya, before mouthing, come on. A sigh left the girls mouth before she also raised her hand.
“See everyone saw you do it.” Maya said smiling innocently.
“Ok, I see.” Naruto said nodding. “Try and blame it on me when I’m not here.” With a tiger seal, the boy was engulfed in a puff of smoke, his presence disappearing from the classroom.
“Whoa!” Sakura let out. “How did he do that? They don’t teach it in the academy.”
“A private tutor.” Maya answered, absentmindedly. Looking at the table, the girl blinked before looking at Aya, who appeared to be slightly down. “Don’t worry Aya, we’ll meet up later.” This perked the girl up, bringing her eyes to her cousin.
“Where are you going?” She asked.
Maya shrugged, “I don’t have the foggiest. But I figure I’ll find Naruto.” Maya answered. She pointed at the destroyed table with a smile. “I’m not taking the blame for this.”
“Alright.” Aya replied, placing her elbow on the table and resting her chin on her hand.
Maya walked out of the row, getting to the stairs before heading up to the door. “Later,” She let out, waving her hand up.
“Later.” Aya said waving back.
With Naruto
The young blonde hummed lowly, the pointy grass under him pressing against the skin of his neck. A relieved sigh left his mouth, whilst he moved his hands behind his head. His sword was at his left side, no more than a few inches away from his body. The scent of the flowers around him filled his nostrils, his body completely relaxed.
After leaving the academy he wandered around town for a bit, finding pretty much nothing to do. He even decided to sneak into the book store to take a look at the pin up girls in the porn magazines. He was caught again, though he wasn’t really hiding what he was doing. After getting thrown out of there, he somehow found his way to the center of his flower field. Funny, he somehow always ended up here.
He listened to the rustling of the plants as the light; gentle breeze blew through to the north. He cringed, a new scent entering his nose. The strong, overpowering odor forced him to cough out. “You ok?” A feminine voice came out. Turning his head to the female, he sent a chakra wave out. The image he received was a picture of Maya.
“Yeah, I’m fine.” He said, covering his mouth. The blonde sat up, taking in brief amounts of air.
“Ok, thought you might have somehow caught a cold.” Maya said chuckling a bit. Naruto shrugged; pretty sure it was the bad smell. “So why did you come here?” she asked.
Naruto smiled brightly, standing from his seated position. “Well, you see….” Naruto stopped his sentence, his smile being replaced with a scowl. He lashed out, striking the unsuspecting girl on her cheek.
“Ugh!” She let out, flying off her feet. The girl flipped, landing on the ground in a in a crouch. She rubbed her cheek, glaring hard at the boy. “Why the hell did you hit me?” She asked, her voice filled with distain.
Naruto’s head tilted slightly, his mouth twisted in confusion. “I’m not much into games.” Naruto stated. He hooked his foot under his katana before tapping it into the air. He caught it, growling. “Leave my field before I kill you.”
“Since when did you have a problem with me here?” Maya shouted. Naruto slid his foot back, flicking the sword, to unsheathe the blade just a bit. Naruto’s right hand hovered over the hilt, his teeth grinding together.
            Maya frowned sighing. She stood up, a puff of smoke engulfing her form. The sound of clothing ruffled violently, his ears catching the noise to his right. The image of the person appeared in his mind. The silver haired girl was replaced by a young man of the height of 5 ft. 7 inches. Spiky black hair moved with the wind pressing against his form. Grey eyes, glaring furiously at the boy, held no type of restraint. His outfit was that of a chunin. A kunai was in his hand, raised high in the air. If Naruto had to guess, he was aiming for his neck.
Poor choice.
            The blonde gripped the hilt of his sword, pulling as the man’s hand came down. The man’s hand seemed to be faster, getting inches away from the boy’s neck, before his blade was half way out. A blade cut through the distance between them, just in time to intercept the blade, reflecting it off the gleaming sword.
            The man jumped back, dodging the quick draw from the blonde. His eyes came to the silver haired girl, who blocked his attack. Her eyes were on him, a scowl on her face. He landed leaping back once again, landing just at the edge of the center of the field. He frowned; figuring his time for attack was completely off. He aimed for now because she wasn’t next to him. Now he would have to deal with the girl who’s suffered more than him.
“Maya-chan.” Naruto spoke, frowning at her presence. She stared at the chunin, lowering her sword.
“Sheathe your blade.” She ordered stepping in front of Naruto. “I’ll handle him.” Naruto shook his head; there was no reason to get her involved.
“Maya-chan, don’t worry about it. I got this. Aren’t you tired anyway?” He asked.
“No, not really. I was merely using that as an excuse to not do anything. But that didn’t work.” Maya said shrugging. “Stay here, I’ll be back.” She said. Naruto let out a sigh, sitting down. He kept his sword out for two reasons. One just in case Maya needed help. The second, once a blade is drawn, it must draw blood.
Oh how he loved that rule.
            Maya walked forward, happy that Naruto listened. This was one of the few times she caught acts like this and she will not let it go unpunished. She lifted the sword to her mouth, biting down on the wooden hilt. “Natsume-san, hold on.” The man pleaded his hands up. Maya hands moved fast, pulling the man back on guard. He watched her hands stop, the young woman inhaling deeply.
He jumped back, expecting a fire technique. He was sorely disappointed with another jutsu was unleashed upon him. Wind picked up almost instantly, a small scale whirlwind smashing into his chest. His body twisted, the whirlwind pushing him over the mass of flowers below him. He noticed the tree he was heading for and flipped, positioning himself to land safely.
Upon landing, the chunnin added chakra into his feet, the wind nearly pushing him off his new place. He covered his face, waiting for the rest of the wind to pass. After a moment, he dropped his arm watching as the girl trekked along the flowerless path. Surprisingly her attack had no effect on the white floras.
Maya stopped outside his field, taking the sword from her mouth and sheathing it. She looked up at the chuunin, running a plan through her mind.
“Why are you helping the boy?” He shouted his question, crossing his arms as he did so. There was no reason to worry; he was stronger than the both of them.
Maya tilted her head, wondering if his head was on right. “I’m his friend, what other reason do I need?”
“Tell me, how could you be friends with one who decimated your entire clan, drove the one person who tried to protect them out of the village?” He asked, leaping down from his post. “You were there that night, you saw everything first hand.” He started to walk towards her slowly, a calculating expression coming on her face. “He killed your parents, your aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. He took them all away from you, and framed your brother for his actions.” Maya looked over at Naruto and a smile graced his face.
He was getting through to the girl.
“Why does any of this have to do with you?” She asked, still not facing the man. He took a breath, his face becoming cold.
“My brother died that day as well, he was close to a girl in your clan.” He stopped behind Maya, placing his free hand on her shoulder. “Allow me to kill him; I will avenge your family for you, as well as my brother.” He looked at Naruto, glared hard.
If he was to relive the moment, he would say this was his greatest mistake.
            Maya’s shoulder left his hand, before the feel of an elbow barreled into his stomach, forcing him to bend over. He would never have guessed she was that strong. A cough left his mouth, before a palm strike to his chin lifted his upper body upward. Her hand gripped his flak jacket before pulling him back down to her height. Her left hand released his jacket, her right rearing back faster than his eyes could see. Her hand came at him, striking his throat with the area between her thumb and index finger.
            He found himself having a hard time breathing, his hands going to his neck. This gave Maya just the right amount of time to gather chakra into her hand to strengthen her attack before striking his upper groin with a palm strike. “Ugha!” He let out, his hands coming to his groin, his body bending over. Maya ended her combo with an uppercut to his chin, forcing him off the ground.
Maya watched with narrowed eyes as he landed on his back, his face contorted in pain. “You must be the biggest imbecile around.” Maya said once again drawing her blade. She walked over to his upper body, placing it at his neck in case he stood up, or tried anything. “Naruto is nowhere near smart enough to frame somebody. And trust me, if Naruto was the culprit, as you have stated I would know, and he would be dead. So go home, masturbate, and readjust your life onto more important things. Like becoming a jounin.” She withdrew her sword before turning. “Oh….” She turned once again, and kicked him across his face. “Don’t impersonate me again.” She said, ignoring his groan of pain.
The silver haired girl turned, looking at Naruto who had just reached them. “Nice….Quick and easy.” Naruto said. Maya nodded blowing a single strand of hair out of her mouth. It didn’t want tt leave it seems. Naruto stopped in front of her, moving his left hand to her face. He slid his hand to her cheek, pulling the strand with it.
“Thanks.” She said, leaning her face from his hand. Naruto chuckled turning his head to the chuunin.
“I’ll take him to the old man. Hopefully, the old man can stop this.”
“How many times today does this make?” She asked, giving him a stern glare. Naruto quirked his lips to the side, that question he wasn’t expecting.
“Don’t worry about that.” Naruto said, walking over to the man’s neck. He reached down, grabbing the back of the barely consciously chuunin’s flak jacket.
“Naruto. Tell me.” She said. Naruto turned his head back to her making a seal.
“I’ll be back, so don’t leave me.” He said.
“Hey!...”
            A plume of smoke stopped her reply. She sighed, turning around. She slowly walked back to the center of the flower field. A quick thought came to her mind. Why didn’t Naruto sheath his blade? She shook her head, keeping the thought out of mind. She was probably overthinking things.
Oh how wrong she was.
It wasn’t long before Naruto reappeared in the Hokage’s office. Sarutobi aged eyes rose from his paper work, his orbs locking on the blonde before heading to the chuunin in his hand.
“Not again” He muttered. Why did his ninja pick now to show their great distaste for the boy? How many times does he have to order them to leave him to fuck alone? The man sighed; he was too old for this.
“Sorry old man.” Naruto said, shrugging. “It seems they have a hard on for me today.”
“Watch your language.” He said, snapping his fingers. Again two people appeared in front of the boy, both standing straight, saluting their leader.
“Hokage-sama!” They both exclaimed. From the voices, Naruto could tell, one was male while the other was female. The woman’s voice he even recognized. A grin appeared on his face; at least he would get something fun out of this. Sending a chakra wave out, he received the appearances of the two ninja in front of him.
The first was a man, being the tallest of the pair, standing at a height of 183 cm tall. Black hair escaped from his head, coming just to the end of his neck. His face is covered by a white mask, decorated with colors in a way to give off the indication that it was a panda. A spiral tattoo is on his right arm, red in color, which every ANBU possessed.
His outfit consisted of the standard uniform of the konoha anbu black ops. A black, high collar, sleeveless shirt, covered his torso. Gray armor rested above his shirt, two straps moving over his shoulders. Black pants covered his legs; a bandage is wrapped around his left leg. Two pouches are attached to the back of his hips. A tanto in a white sheath is on his back, attached to his armor. Gloves covered his arm, along with metal arm guards over it.
The other was a woman, standing about 162.9 cm tall. Long purple hair trailed from her head down to the middle of her back. Her face is completely covered by a similar mask, but this mask is resembles a cat. He lithe form, held quite the curves, though not as great as someone who personifies sexy, like Anko, they were still quite the sight. Her bust was proportionate with her body, being not too big or small, maybe on the larger sizes of a b-cup. Her outfit was the same as her partner, which added on to her mysterious beauty.
“If you would…..take him to Ibiki-san, I want to know who the ring leader behind these attacks is. I’m starting to think these are not random acts.” The old Saturobi stated. They both nodded turning around. Both of their eyes fell on the young boy, who now had his chest puffed out a bit, his arms tense to show his muscles. He stood straighter, almost as if trying to look taller then he actually was.
“Neko-chan, long time no see.” Naruto said, a cheeky smile on his face. She looked at him, though he couldn’t see it, he was pretty sure there was a smile on her face.
“Hey kid.” She replied, walking up to him, her partner by her side.
‘Ooooh, playing hard to get, I like’ Naruto thought. “You look as gorgeous as ever.” A low laugh entered his ears and mentally smiled wider.
“Thank you, but I have to wonder what you are basing that statement on.” She replied. She was wearing a mask, so the only area he could base it on would be her body.
Naruto chuckled, “Come on, my sweet. I’ve seen your precious face before. And the ANBU look on you is wonderful. The right mix of danger and beauty, it gets my heart pumping.”
            This time her partner laughed. The kid had some good lyrics. “Well Naruto-kun, maybe you should get some rest. A quickened heart rate is a sign of a sickness.” Neko replied.
“But I am sick.” Naruto palmed his heart, pursing his lips a little. “I’m down with the disease known as love. I caught it the first day we met.”
            The hokage joined her partner in a light hearted chuckle, for a kid with zero love experience he sure knew how to make comebacks. It was too bad he had to end this right now; it would be bad if the chuunin awakened. With a cough, he drew everyone attention. “Sorry to interrupt, but I’m sure these two have more things to do today.”
            Naruto turned his head to him, nodding in understanding. The old man didn’t want Naruto to shame him in getting an older woman at such a young age. Understandable. “We’ll talk later Naruto-kun.” She said, her partner relieving the chuunin from his hand. The man looked at the unconscious ninja, frowning noticing five slashes across his torso, they were light and not life threatening, but he had to wonder just how strong this kid was.
Naruto’s head turned back to the woman, a smile returning to his face. “As in a date?” He asked.
“If you want to call it that.” She said. His smile brightened, flashing his white teeth.
“Yay! A date with Yugao-chan!....” Naruto jumped for joy before composing himself. “I mean, that would be enjoyable.”
The room was filled with laughter, before the two ANBU vanished in a puff of smoke. Only the aged chuckle filled the room, drawing the blond’s attention back his leader. After a moment, his laughter disappeared, and he looked at the boy, leaning back in his chair a little.
“Naruto-kun, please explain to me what happened.” He said, after a moment of silence. Naruto hummed a bit, nodding his head.
“Well, I thinking in my garden, you know resting after the test with Anko-chan, and playing with Maya-chan and Aya-chan.” He recounted, rubbing his face a bit. “He came up to me in a henge that made him look like Maya, I was alerted to it because of his smell and trust me he stunk.” Naruto waved his hand in front of his nose to for emphasis. “I lashed out at him first. Since I figured the only reason he would be there looking like Maya-chan was to attack me. He struck back at me but Maya-chan came to my aid. She beat him down, than I came here.” Naruto finished, nodding his head.
“Maya-san intervened this time?” Sarutobi asked, slightly surprised. Naruto nodded scratching his cheek.
“It wasn’t my idea, she just took over.” Naruto said. The hokage stared at him, his eyes calculating any outcome that could happen. “You don’t have to worry, old man. This was the one time I wasn’t on guard. I won’t make a repeat of this.” He said his voice devoid of any tone. The Hokage looked at him, watching as he walked over to the window.
“I’ll have Neko guard you, that way nothing like this happens anymore.” He said. Naruto shook his head, stopping at the windowsill, and opening the glass doors.
“I’m confident in my skills, I’ll make sure to keep her away from danger.”
“I’ll place her to protect you. You are the target.” He said. Naruto shook his head again.
“I don’t need protection. Besides I’m pretty sure her skills are better served elsewhere.” Naruto said. Rubbing his head, Naruto turned to the man old enough to be his grandfather. “If anything, I’m pretty sure Anko-sensei can keep me out of danger.”
The Hokage nodded, though he still wanted to make sure. “I’ll see you later, next time for our mission.” Naruto said, cheerfully. The aged Satorubi smiled, nodding.
“I’ll be looking forward to it.” He said.
“Ja ne.” Naruto exclaimed leaping from the window. The wind brushed against his form, his hair swaying roughly as he dropped, unhindered. ‘Flying, the joy.’ He thought putting his hands together. He gathered chakra to his feet, leaning his body closer to the building. His feet touched the building, getting stuck to it. The boy slid down, quite a bit, smiling. He was in no rush to get back. So he will run there normally.
Oh the fun.
            Leaping from the tower, the blonde landed on a roof top, crouching to absorb the impact. He turned, dashing eastward, toward his garden. Let’s see how long it takes for him to get there.
After Fifteen minutes of straight running no rest, Naruto arrived at the tree line before his garden. He panted heavily, his blood pumping. He slowed his breathing, walking out slowly. He raised his katana up, placing the hilt in his mouth. It was time to enter stealth mode. Sweat leaked from his pores, slowly sliding down his skin. The boy leaped into his field, landing on a pathway. His landing was silent, his body dropping to the ground. He crawled, through the path, sending out a small chakra wave. He received the blurry image of Maya, with her back turned to him, sniffing some of his flowers. She seemed to not have noticed, being preoccupied by her activity.
     A mischievous smile came to his face, thought s of how he was going to prank her crossing his mind. He made no noise as he carefully approached her. He heard slight movement from her, but none indicating she noticed him. Cross, into the middle of the field, still no indication that she was aware of him. Pushing up slightly on his legs, he prepared himself.
He was now ready to pounce.
“What took you, Naruto?” Maya asked, stopping his attack. She turned to him, watching as he fell to the ground, his sword rolling on the dirt.
“Aw! You ruined it!” He whined sitting up, sending out chakra waves. Maya rolled her eyes.
“Then you need to try harder. I could sense you the moment you came.” Maya gloated. Naruto pouted, crossing his arm. “Besides, I’m already used to that, you need something new.”
Naruto lifted his head a bit. “Hmph.” Naruto let out, turning his head away from her. She raised her right eyebrow at him, a small amused smile coming to her face.
“Come on, Naruto. Don’t be mad.” Maya said, moving closer to him. Naruto turned his whole body, refraining from facing her. Maya grinned before moving right in front of him, avoiding the blade on the ground. Naruto turned his body once again missing the girl moving her digit into her mouth.
A second later, she inserted said finger into Naruto’s ear. “Yah!” Naruto let out surprised, his body jerking the wet, slimy sensation in his ear. He lean away, quickly covering his ear in case of a secondary attack.
A laugh burst from the girl’s mouth, her hands on her stomach. “Did you see your face!?” She exclaimed through her laughs, her finger pointing at his face. “It was priceless!”
Naruto turned his head to her, his mouth twitching. A smile appeared on the blond’s face a second later. His right hand lashed out, tapping her chin as she laughed.
Now that was priceless.
Maya grabbed her mouth, her watery eyes staring at Naruto. Naruto chuckled, the image of her scowling face amusing him. His chuckle soon grew to a full blown laugh, his hands grabbing his sides.
Because of his current situation, he missed the girl reaching out. He barely had time to react when she grabbed both of his ears. She pulled them out before releasing them, coming back with a smack on both sides of his head. Naruto growled shaking his head, his mental image becoming fuzzy. “It tied once again, 15 to 15.” Maya exclaimed, laughing once again.
It took a moment for the disorientation to leave him. He growled noticing Maya was now on her back, her laugh still continuing. A smirk appeared on his face, she was completely defenseless. He moved with haste, sliding his hands to her underarms.
“Kye!” She let out surprised. Maya looked up at Naruto her mouth slight ajar. She shook her head, warning against it. His mischievous grin smirk only grew. “Don’t do it.” No other words came from her mouth before his fingers started to move. Laughter escaped her mouth, clutching her arm against her body to stop his assault.
It didn’t work to well.
Naruto’s chuckle was drowned out, Maya’s laughter increasing in volume, tears in her eyes. She rocked her body, placing her hand on Naruto’s chest. She managed to push him off, turning on her stomach before trying to escape. She almost got away, only for her right foot to be captured. Her sandal was quickly discarded, his fingers rubbing up against her feet. “HAHAHA s-stop HAHAHA!” She managed out trying to crawl away from him. He pulled her back, flipping her over on her back.
“Ah, is little Mawa-cwan ticklish?” Naruto asked, though already knowing the answer. Maya’s left leg flailed around; the girl unable to stop. “Oh ho-ho, lets see what else is..”
Thwack!
Naruto hit the ground, his hands going to his nose. “Hiyahh! My nose!” Naruto screamed, rolling a little.
Maya paid no attention to him, her lack of air holding her complete attention. She panted heavily, looking up at the blue sky. She was officially out of energy. She raised her arm, wiping the tears from her eyes. “Naru..to….I’m going…to kick your ass.” Maya let out. She expected sometime of perverted reply, but when there wasn’t any, Maya found herself curious as to his fate.
Forcing herself up, she stared at Naruto, who was on his back, his hands behind his head. “Naruto?”
Naruto tilted his head at her, smiling. “Ready for round two?” He asked. Maya gave the blonde a blank stare. She shook her head, looking over at his position
“Screw…that.” She said. . She moved over to his side, before turning her body away from him, so her back was facing him.
“What are you doing?” He asked. His question was answered when she laid down, her shoulder and head on his chest. “Oh….so no round two?” He asked. Maya narrowed her eyes before sighing.
“Later.” She said. Naruto chuckled, a wide grin on his face. Next time, he wouldn’t get kicked.
            “So Maya-chan. Did I tell you what I did after I took my picture?” Naruto asked. Maya looked at him, shaking her head.
“What did you do?” She asked.
“I met this kid.” Naruto started off. “He was trying to attack the hokage, but he was going about it all wrong.”
“Is there a right way to attack the hokage?” Maya interjected.
“Of course there is. Did you know the old man is a pervert?” He asked.
“Bull shit.” Maya called. No way in hell, the man was a pervert.
“True story, I caught him once when I was younger. It was funny. Anyway, the boy tried to attack and fell, on a smooth floor.” Naruto recounted. Maya chuckled, another such happening coming to her mind. “He blamed it on me because I was there.”
“Who was he?” She asked.
“The old man’s grandson. Konohamura was his name.”
            “Huh? So he’s at that age.” Maya stated, as if it was expected.
“Did you expect such….wait do you know the kid?” Naruto asked. Maya smiled, turning her head.
“Yep. I met him a few times. He is quite the funny one.” Maya laughed remembering her encounters with the boy.
“Ah,” Naruto let out. “He is funnier than me?” He asked, his voice slightly deeper. Maya raised an eyebrow.
“Naruto…he’s eight.”
A hum left the boys mouth, “So that’s a yes.” Naruto confirmed a mock frown on his face. Maya only gave him a blank look.
“Just finish your story.”
A few hours later
Naruto tossed a grape across from him. The image of it getting into Maya’s mouth brought a smile to his face. “Ah-ha! 23.” Naruto said. He could hear the silent grinding of the grape in her mouth and waited for her to finish.
“Lucky shot.” Maya said. Plucking a grape from a bag she had in her lap, the blue eyed girl took aim. Naruto began to rock side to side, like a pendulum, his mouth open wide. My brought the small oval, succulent fruit to just about eye level, taking aim. She waited tilt the right moment before tossing the grape at his mouth.
She watched as it hit his bottom lip, bouncing into his mouth. Naruto’s mouth closed around it, beginning to chew the fruit. “Ha! 27, you aren’t going to catch up to me.” Maya gloated, her chest puffed out in arrogance.
Swallowing, the blonde smirked. “I always catch up.” The two preteens started this game less than an hour ago, deciding to pass the time with a friendly contest. Maya pulling out the grapes from absolutely nowhere, deciding the terms and game itself.
“Alright, Re…Aya-chan!” Naruto cheered, recognizing a familiar scent carried by a smooth breeze. Maya reacted soon after, looking off to the right.
“I should have known.” The brunette muttered, entering the pathway of the garden.
“Hey Aya. How was your meeting with your sensei?” Maya asked when Aya was in range.
“It was annoying.” Aya replied, moving over to sit by her side.
“How so?” Maya asked, turning back to Naruto. She opened her mouth, leaning her body in an array of directions. Aya raised her eyebrow, wondering what they were doing.
“We had to wait for so long pretty much for nothing.”
“Tell us about it.” Naruto said, tossing the grape. It missed the girl’s mouth by an inch. “Darn.” He muttered, opening his mouth.
“Well it happened like this.”
Flashback
Aya sat at the table across from, from the broken table, the fingers of her left hand rapping again the desk in a steady rhythm.
Tap, tap, tap….tap, tap. Tap, tap, tap…tap, tap.
The brunette was staring at the clock, her foot joining the beat of her fingers. The brunette was so fixated watching the time tick away; she failed to notice the pinked haired girls growing annoyance. She seemed to reach her peak, slamming her hands on the desk before standing.
“Could you stop that!?” Sakura shouted out, looking back at the girl. Aya’s eyes came to the girl, halting in her act. She stared at her blinking.
“You didn’t need to yell.” Aya said, looking off towards the window. Sakura blushed, realizing her error. She muttered a low apology sitting down.
     Aya sighed; this was not how she wanted to spend her time. Seriously, who in the living hell was this guy? Who this late to an appointment as important as this? No message or anything warning them. She was glad those two left, they would’ve thrown a huge tantrum, a destructive tantrum.
The brunette sighed, standing up. She moved from behind the table, drawing the attention of her two teammates. “Where are you going?” Sakura asked. Aya glanced at her walking down to the front door.
“For a walk, want to join me?” Aya asked politely. Sakura shook her head quickly
“I don’t think that’s a good idea.” Sakura warned. “What if sensei comes when you’re gone?”
Aya looked towards the door, “Then he could wait like we did.” She continued forward, reaching to slide the door open. Before she could though, the door slide open revealing a tall, silver haired masked man.
            Aya stared at him slightly surprised at his sudden entrance. Her shock soon turned to irritation, though she refused to show it. She crossed her arms, lightly tapping her feet. “You should have come five minutes later.” She said.
The jounin looked down upon her, taking a guess that she was going to leave if he didn’t pop up when he did. His one eye scanned over the other two who was still sitting at the table. Well, what an almost boring bunch. The jounin decided to voice his opinion.
“My first impression of you guy are…your boring.” He said.
This one sentence brought on the reaction of Sakura and Sasuke’s head dropping. Aya on the other hand glared at the man. She had fire in her eyes; maybe this team arrangement wouldn’t be so bad after all. “Follow me.” He said turning.
Following the older man, the three soon found themselves on top of a roof of a building. Three arches attached to the building, covered six trees, metal railing going over the perimeter of the roof. Watching him lean up against the railing, the three genin decided to take their place on the stairs in front of him. Sitting on the left side of Sasuke, who took the middle position of the three, Aya looked at the one eyed man, still peeved at the long wait.
Kakashi stared at his would be students. “Hmm.” He let out, seemly thinking about what to say. “Okay, how about we start off with introductions.”
Sakura blinked, not expecting such. “What do you want to know?” Sakura asked.
Kakashi looked at the girl, expecting such a question. “Your name, your likes, dislikes, dreams for the future, and hobbles.” He answered. The three kids shared a look, before looking back at their teacher.
“If you don’t mind, can you go?” Aya asked.
“Yeah….you look kind of suspicious.” Sakura added, hugging her legs.
“Alright.” Kakashi said his lips upturned underneath his mask. “My name is Kakashi Hatake. I don’t feel like telling you guys about my likes and dislikes.” He stared at them blankly humming a bit. “Dreams for the future..? I have a lot of hobbies.”
The genins stared at him blankly, before Aya and Sakura looked at each other. “So all we learned….was his name.” Sakura whispered.
With his right hand raised, he pointed at Aya. “You go first.” The one eyed jounin ordered.
            Aya stared at him for a moment before standing. The three watched her, wondering why she stood. “I’m Aya Natsume. I have quite a few likes, but I refuse to tell you.” She started off, staring the man right in his eyes.
‘She’s feisty.’ Kakashi thought, smiling behind his mask.
“My dislikes…..well people who aren’t punctual has just become the very top.” Aya looked off, thinking about the other areas. “My dreams for the future….well I want to be a part of the elite ANBU. For my hobbies….puzzles.” At that, she sat down, pulling her legs to her chest.
‘Wow….Revenge is the last thing on her mind.’ Kakashi looked at Sasuke, “You next.”
Sasuke stared at his teacher, his hands interlaced in front of his mouth. “My name is Sasuke Uchiha. There are tons of things I dislike, but I don’t really like anything. And I don’t want to use the word “dream” but… I have an ambition. The resurrection of my clan, and…to kill a certain man.” Sasuke recited, his black eyes boring into Kakashi’s own
‘Sooo cool.’ Sakura thought.
‘Huh, stupid goal.’ She thought, shaking her head.
‘I thought as much.’ He glanced at Aya, humming. ‘These two are like two sides of the same coin, one side racing towards revenge and the other towards life. I wonder how her cousin is.’ Kakashi looked at Sakura, pointing at her.
“Now… you’re up.”
“My name is Sakura Haruno. My likes are.” She paused; her hands up, a blush on her face. “Well the person I like is…” She took a glance at refusing to say it once again. “Well, um my dreams for the future…” She let out a loud squeal, unable to hold in her passion any longer. “The thing I dislike…Is Naruto.” She said, glaring out.
This drew Aya’s attention to her, who had stopped listening after a second of her so called introduction. Aya glared at the girl, wondering if she should really be doing this type of work.
‘Well, I guess a lot of girls at this age are worried about love instead of ninjutsu.’ Kakashi crossed his arms glad he was done with this part of it.
“Alright, tomorrow we began our duties.” Kakashi said.
“What kind of duties?” Aya asked, hoping it something interesting.
“First we’re going to do something with just us four.” Kakashi replied.
“It wouldn’t happen to be survival training would it?” Aya asked. Kakashi stared at her wondering who told her. With his nod, Sakura perked up.
“Why is our duty training?” Sakura asked, surprised. “We did enough training in the academy.”
“I’m your opponent, but this is no ordinary training.” Kakashi replied.
“What kind of training?” Aya asked. At that question, the man started to chuckle.
“What’s so funny sensei?” Sakura asked, suspicion in her eyes.
“Well if I say this I’m sure you three are going to flip.” Kakashi said, amused.
“Let me guess.” Aya interjected. “Out of the thirty two graduates, only a set number will become genins, while the rest will be sent back. Am I anywhere in the ball park with that?” Aya asked, watching his wide eye.
“W-what?” Sakura let out. She looked over at Kakashi who chuckled a bit.
“I see, so you were informed about this.” Kakashi said. Aya nodded, crossing her arms.
“Then the purpose of our final exam was…” Sakura sentence trailed off, hoping someone would complete it.
“That? It just picks out of those who are qualified to become a genin.” Kakashi informed. “Anyway tomorrow you will be graded on the training field. Bring all your ninja equipment. Oh and don’t eat breakfast, you’ll throw up.” With that Kakashi got off the railing, pulling out three pieces of paper. “This print out has all the details. Don’t be late tomorrow.”
            Each one of them grabbed the paper, taking a glance over it. Sasuke crushed it in his hand, looking out, glaring. ‘I have to pass this test to become stronger.’
Sakura looked ahead, her face holding an expression of horror. ‘If I fail this test I will be separated from Sasuke-kun. This is a test of love’.
Aya on the other hand read the paper over, humming at the information. She folded the paper and stood up, drawing their attention. “Bye.” She muttered. This was a huge waste of time, seriously, three hours of the day gone just because his man took so long. He could have just given them the paper three hours ago and did the introductions then. What an ass.
End Flashback
“I mean really? Who does that?” Aya asked, ending her rant. Naruto smiled, turning his head over to her.
“Kakashi Hatake does that. He’s notorious for being late. I should have warned you before.” Naruto said, taking aim with his grape.
“You knew he would be our sensei?” Aya asked with disbelief.
“Sasuke-san is the last remaining person with the Sharingan.” Naruto started, he shifted his position leaning over to the left a bit. “And since you are also one of the last members of your clan with a bloodline, they would want a person who maybe can teach you both as well as protect you from danger.” Naruto looked slightly disgusted, “And I hate to say it, but the man is skilled.”
Maya chuckled, “That’s a..” the grape flew in her mouth, effectively shutting her up. Maya coughed, the grape going straight down her throat.
“Another one for the champ!” Naruto exclaimed, his arms raising high. Tears came from Maya eyes, as she growled.
“Bastard! I could have choked!” She let out, leaping at him. Naruto shielded himself, laughing as Maya lashed out at him.
“Anyway Aya-chan, I’m not sure of his teaching style, but be careful around…Owch!” Naruto let out, after a punch went through his defense. The blonde dropped on his back turning quickly as his friend jumped on him. He covered his head, only for his right arm to be grabbed and twisted behind his back. “Hey! Ah let go!” He shouted, his blonde spikes getting grabbed.
“Who’s my bitch!?” She asked, a sadist look in her eyes.
“Kiba is!” Naruto let out.
“Nice try, but wrong.” Maya exclaimed, before pushing is face into the grass. “Eat it bitch! Eat my grass!”
“Maya!” Aya shouted, shocked at what her cousin just said. Maya looked at her blinking.
“I said grass, not ass.” Maya said. Aya only stared, crossing her arms. Maya let out a sigh leaning down to Naruto’s ear. “You got lucky this time, but Aya won’t be here next time.” Maya whispered.
“Maya.” Aya warned. Maya sighed again, mushing his face into the dirt. She got off him returning to her original spot. Naruto pushed himself up, turning around and sitting down.
“Whoo!” He let out, wiping his face of grass and dirt. “Now, as I was saying. You should be careful around him. He steals ninjutsu.” Naruto said. Aya blinked, her head tilting a bit.
“He does?” She asked.
“Yeah. His covered eye is a sharingan. He can’t shut it off because it’s not his, but once it’s uncovered he can use it like an Uchiha.” Naruto informed.
“Ok. I’ll watch him then.” Aya said humming a bit.
“What time does he want you to meet him?” Maya asked, eating a grape.
“Six in the morning.” Aya mumbled.
“So about 12.” Naruto said, nodding.
“Yeah, that’ll give me enough time to make you breakfast.” Maya said grinning. Aya looked slightly appalled by the suggestion.
“Um…he said we shouldn’t eat.” Aya replied.
“Doesn’t matter. No one should go without eating breakfast.” Maya said nodding.
“Um…I’ll take care of it.” Aya said.
“No you’ll have to prepare. I’ll cook you up something good.” Maya said grinning widely.
“Um…On that note, I have to go.” Naruto said. Both girls looked at him as he grabbed his sword and the bag of grapes, which was a third full.
“But I just got here.” Aya whined.
“I know, but this is really important.” Naruto replied. The image of Aya pouting came to the forefront of his mind and the blonde smiled. “Besides, Maya-chan wants to teach you something.”
Maya blinked, raising an eyebrow. She looked at Aya and smiled. “Yeah, I want teach you a move for tomorrow.”
“What kind of move?” The brunette asked, suspiciously.
“Taijutsu move. It’ll bring down the pain on anybody.” Maya said, driving her fist into her palm. Aya’s face lit up and she grabbed her cousin in a hug.
“Oh! Thank you, thank you, thank you!” She chanted squeezing her cousin. Maya looked at Naruto pointing at him.
‘You owe me one!’ She mouthed. Naruto gave her a thumb up, a cheesy smile on his face.
“Ok, I’ll leave you two to it.” Naruto said turning. “Later.” A combined later shot back at him as he began to walk away.
Walking out of his garden, the blonde turned left. Once he was in well behind the tree line and out of sight from his friends, Naruto dashed forward. Using both his chakra radar and his hearing, the boy successfully navigated the forest, avoiding collision with any and all objects.
Though there were a few close calls.
            After ten minutes, the young genin slowed to a steady walk, his breathing heavy grasped of air. Naruto walked forward, deciding not to stop his pace. Walking forward, the blonde tried to calm his breaths, the strong, heavy scent of moisture dampening the air. Sending out a couple of chakra waves, Naruto obtained the general view of the area.
            A large lake was about 9 meters ahead of him, the lake side held scarce amounts of grass and flowers. Getting closer, he was able to receive the large waterfall that drained into the lake. Large jagged rocks came from the uprooted land, intercepting the water that dropped from above. A light mist raised from below, each drop splashing the surface level water.
            Though his eyes were hindered, he could tell that it was quite a sight. Walking forward, Naruto took special care to make sure he would not slip on any moist land. He concentrated on his hearing, making sure not to miss a sound around. This was a place people knew about but rarely ventured. Why? Naruto had absolutely no clue. But that what made it better. Nobody would bother him.
            Stopping at the edge of the lake side, knelt down, placing his sheathed katana on the ground. He dipped his right hand into the water, the warm cool to the touch. “Nice. I’ll try not to take long.” He muttered to himself.
            Naruto stood up straight, grabbing the hem of his shirt. He pulled it over his head, having a small amount of trouble with his hair being stuck. He folded it quickly and neatly into a nice square. Soon his pants, mesh undershirt, kunai pouch, and sandal joined it.
            Being free of most of his clothing, Naruto stretched out ready for a dip. He took a few steps back before running forward. “YAHOO!” He bellowed jumping up.
SPLASH!
            Naruto turned his head, holding his breath. Though it wasn’t really needed for this journey, the blonde sent a few chakra waves outward. He had memorized this area five times over. So he knew where to go but he couldn’t be too careful. The image of the undersea area was gorgeous enough to make the boy want to uncover his eyes. The lake bottom was easily reachable, fishes swimming all around. Algae floated, attached to stems that rose from breaks in the rocks. His mind focused on a hole in the base of the waterfall. The hole was big enough to accommodate one person of adult size at a time, easily large enough for him to fit.
            The blonde swam down, grabbing on the rocks just outside the hole. Pulling on it, he moved into the hole. Bubbles escaped from his nose, his lungs burning for the vital element he needed to survive. The thought that maybe shouting yahoo before jumping in was a bad idea, crossed his mind. Leaning over, Naruto grabbed onto a rock that suck out of the cavern wall. Gathering chakra into his arms and legs, the boy pulled hard propelling him down the passage.
            His heartbeat pounded in his ears, the impulse to take a breath becoming a lot harder to stifle. He grabbed onto another rock, repeating the process. Four more of these helped in traversing the expansive passage in shorter amount of time then he thought.
            Reaching the end of the line, the boy tilted his body upward pushing his arms against the water. Within seconds Naruto burst through the surface of the water, inhaling a large breath. “Oh shit.” He whispered, taking all the air he needed. He swam a bit, reaching out like a blind man. The moment his hand touched earth, he grabbed on, pulling himself to it. Lying against it, the boy rested a moment trying to calm his near panicked mind.
After three minutes the boy pulled himself up and onto the cave floor. “Whooo! That was lucky.” He said.
“Whoooo! That was lucky” echoed back. Naruto smiled, standing up.
  Naruto walked forward, the sounds of each of his steps echoing out to him. From the sound it was easy to tell there was more to this cave then just this area, but Naruto would not go about exploding as of now, maybe when he had a few more jutsu under his belt. Moving quickly he stepped over to where he knew three, four foot rock pillars were. Odd thing is, he did not know where they came from. They were here when he discovered this place.
Stopping in what he believed to be the middle of the three, he reached out; knowing the distance between him and the pillar was arm length apart. He was spot on, grabbing on to a rough palm sized rock. He turned to the other two pillars, grabbing one in his left hand and the other joining its sister in his right. A smiled appeared on his face, gathering chakra into hands. Opening his mouth, he took a deep breath.
“Hee!” He grunted, moving his energy into the brown rocks.
Sweat began to pour from the blonde’s pores, not that Naruto could tell is body still covered by the water he was just in. He could feel the hard surface of the rock break away, crumbling away in his hand. A smile broke through from his strained look, the smaller pieces dropping from his hand.
It about three minutes of constant chakra generation for the entire rocky surface to peel away, leaving only three oval, blue, glowing quartz crystals in their wake. Each crystal was just about 2 ½ inches long and 1 ½ inch long at its center. “Ok…That should be enough for today. I don’t want to corrupt them.” He muttered. He placed each crystal back on its own pedestal, calculating how many more days he would need to do this to get the desired effect.
Walking in thought, the boy made his way over to the hole he came from. He stopped just in front of it, nodding his head seemingly coming to some source of agreement with himself. A huge grin split his face, “YAHOOOO!” He cheered, leaping into the water.
Naruto burst out to the surface, the cool air hitting his face. “Oh god. I wasn’t supposed to do that.” Naruto gasped. He moved over to the lake side panting heavily. Laying his head down on the land, the blonde relaxed, not making any unnecessary movements. He would take a brief moment to rest before he went to leave. After all he had a game to play.
It was close 6:10 pm when Naruto walked out onto a level plain. The blades of grass bent, the wind pushing against them. The blonde drew his hands from his pocket, walking towards the sounds of crunching.
“Yo.” Came the lazy voice of Shikamaru.
“Hey Naruto.” Choji’s voice came next, before the ruffing of chips reached the blonde’s ears.
Naruto grinned, the image of Shikamaru and Chouji appearing in his mind. A shogi board was in front of the black haired boy, all of the pieces positioned as if he was playing somebody. His husky friend was at his side, eating a bag of chips, which never seemed to leave his hand. “Hello Shikamaru, Choji.” The blonde greeted. “Have you been waiting long?”
“For ten minutes.” Shikamaru said, yawning. “I was tempted to go to sleep.”
Naruto chuckled walking over to the other side of the board. “Sorry about that. Something important came up.”
“More important than playing Shikamaru?” Chouji asked, tilting his bag to the boy.
“I would say about the same.” Naruto replied, reaching his hand into the bag. “I’m preparing a little present for Maya-chan and Aya-chan. Thanks.” He said drawing three chips from the bag. A second later he popped them in his mouth.
“A present?” Shikarmaru repeated, beginning to fix the pieces on the board.
“Yeah. I still need to put a whole lot of work into them, but for now they are coming along nicely.” Naruto said.
“What is it?” Choji asked, his curiosity getting the better of him. Naruto leaned his head down, beginning to fix his pieces up.
“Well, I could tell you if you can keep a secret.”
“I’m a ninja now; of course I can keep a secret.” Choji bragged. Naruto chuckled; the boy was getting more confident.
“Alright. They are jewels. I’m making a necklace for them.” He answered.
“What’s the occasion?” The lazy preteen asked, preparing to make a move.
“None really. But if it was one…it would be us becoming ninja.”
            The two boys smiled at the blonde, knowing it was probably much more than that. They would not push for more info though because it was now game time.
            Shikamaru started first, the lazy genius deciding to push a pawn ahead. His mind already on possible paths this game would and could take. In his mind he could see him beating his blonde friend in approximately 100 moves. But he knew that in reality, this would not happen. For he knew one of Naruto’s greatest strengths was the disruption of set plans. The pineapple head would be cautious this time even if it seems like he would win.
            Naruto move next, bringing out the strong horse rider known as the knight. Why he brought it out? Well it was a simple whim of his. Why not? So early in the game it would face no danger until maybe three more turns. By then Naruto would have more pieces out to protect it. Or maybe not. The boy had no clue.
            Shikamaru took a moment to think about the move Naruto just made. It was an opening he was used to seeing, but the sightless ninja across from him would always use it a different way than he expected. For example, last game he thought it was to pressure his pawn, only for Naruto to move the piece around the board just for entertainment purposes. But because of him thinking such, he lost his silver generals, both of them. Naruto traded his lances just to drop them on his side. It didn’t make sense, but the blonde won at the end. If Shikamaru had to guess, this game would probably go the same way.
            It took an hour, but Shikamaru really had to say he was in a bad spot. His earlier prediction of how the game would go was completely wrong. Naruto’s knight was just out there, just to be out there, he hadn’t move the thing since the first move. He hesitated to take it for ten minutes, thinking it was some sort of trap. And he was completely off; there was no trap, there was nothing. Sure Shikamaru had his knight now, but at the cost of his gold general and board position, he wish he hadn’t be preoccupied with it. He still wondered how he didn’t notice Naruto sneaking his bishop into position to snag his general.
            The boy sighed, deciding to take a moment to think. He was missing something here and Naruto’s mischievous grin was not going to give him an answer. Closing his eyes, and putting his hand together, creating a circle with his fingertips, the boy began to think, hoping to come out with a plan suitable for this situation.
            Naruto hummed, his mind on other things. He wondered how he would grope his teacher the next day, his date with Neko-chan, the softness of his silver haired friend’s boobs. He wondered if he would get a chance to see Kurenai-chan again or if she was still taking to that Asuma guy, so many things to worry about but not enough time to worry about them.
His mind came back to the present the image of his play mate going into mediation. He chuckled lowly, wondering why was thinking so important. Naruto had a few philosophies, and one of them was just do it. And that is what he did, almost 100 % of the time. Now if only Shikamaru followed that, than his life would be so much brighter.
            Naruto turned his head, two sets of footsteps drawing his attention. One was light, very unnoticeable, while the other set was dragging slightly. “Hello Mawa-chan, Awa-chan!” Choji greeted, his mouth still full. He was on his tenth bag of chips.
“Please Choji, don’t speak with your mouth full.” Maya said.
“Hello, Choji-kun.” Aya greeted politely. Naruto turned his head to Choji, putting his index finger to his mouth. The husky boy noticed this and nodded with a smile.
“What was that?” Maya asked, catching Choji’s reaction.
“Nothing, Maya-chan.” Naruto replied turning his head to her. “How was training?”
“It was hard.” Aya answered, with a huff.
“I see. But there isn’t supposed to be an easy training session.” Naruto replied.
“But this was really hard!” Aya exclaimed, her arms extended dramatically. “She made me do all these exorcises that had nothing to do with the technique.”
“So? If you would have gotten it right then you wouldn’t have had to do it.” Maya said crossing her arms.
“Maya-chan, have you been bulling Aya-chan?” He asked.
“No” “Yes”
            The two girls looked at each other, glaring a bit. “If I’m bulling you, maybe I should stop teaching you things.”
“If you would take it easy, then maybe I wouldn’t say you were bulling me.” Aya shot back. Naruto and Choji laughed, drawing the girl’s attention to them.
“Relax. Maya-chan your training habits are a little too strict.” Naruto said.
“Hah! See.” Aya exclaimed pointing at her.
“No, you’re just too soft.” Maya retorted, staring her cousin down.
“Am not.” Aya shot back.
“I think you made it worst.” Choji whispered. Naruto nodded in agreement, but he had ways to fix this. Or so he thought.
“Hey, what do you guys want to eat tonight?” Naruto asked. This drew their attention again, this time Maya’s right hand found her stomach. She was hungry.
“How about meat? BBQ would be good.” Maya said, nodding.
“Hmmm, baroque.” Choji repeated, his mouth starting to water.
“Ah, how about dumplings?” Aya suggested.
“Hmmm, dumplings.” Choji repeated, drool dripping from his lips. Naruto couldn’t help it and turned his head to the boy.
“Would you like to join us?” He asked. The brown haired boy wiped his mouth quickly before shaking his head.
“I would but my mother is making a feast as congratulations for becoming a genin.” Choji said. Naruto put a smile on his face, slightly disappointed.
“Alright. There’s always next time.” Naruto said. “I wonder if it’s the same with this one.” Naruto suddenly hummed turning his head back to Choji. “Hey I should have asked but how is Ino-chan taking a liking to your team?”
“Oh, she’s um….more upset that Sakura-san is a part of Sasuke’s team then being on teams with us.” Choji said.
“Hahaha. I don’t know why that’s surprising to me.” Naruto laughed out.
“I don’t know either. She’s has a big attraction towards the boy.” Maya said, sitting on the other side of the board. Aya sat on Naruto’s side, leaning against him a bit. “By the way…how many games did you play?” She asked.
“This is still the first one.” Naruto replied, chuckling a bit. Maya looked slightly annoyed by it. She expected one of them to have won at least one already.
“Who’s winning?” Aya asked curiously. She wasn’t really the shoji play, she barely liked strategy games. Now puzzles, those were her type of games.
As if being brought out of his thought process by her question, Shikamaru opened his eyes, reaching out to the board. He placed his hand on top of his promoted rook, sliding it in position to take Naruto’s king. “Hello, Maya-san, Aya-san.” Shikamaru said, looking up from the board.
“Hello.” Aya greeted. Maya simply nodded at him, looking at the move that he made. She understood what was going on pretty well, her mother used to play quite a bit. It seems Naruto was close to losing. Looking at all of Naruto’s pieces, it took a moment to realize that some of his stronger pieces were position to counter such a move. But there was also one other move.
“Wow….Pretty good move.” Naruto said. Humming a bit, Naruto pushed the king out of range. Shikamura blinked, wondering why Naruto didn’t capture it like he planned for. He moved again, placing the blonde’s king back in position to be taken. Again Naruto pushed the king away, bringing the eyes of the onlookers to him.
What the hell was he doing?
            Shikamaru looked at the board, looking at each piece, second guessing whether or not he should continue his chase. He placed his hand on the piece, hesitantly pushing it again, in range of the king. Naruto frowned humming a bit. “I guess you aren’t going to give this up.” He said. The blond did not wait for an answer though. Pushing a pawn that once belonged to Shikamaru, Naruto blocked the attack. Shikamaru hummed, swamping his tactic.
            Shikamaru moved his hand to another one of his pieces, before he stopped now seeing what Naruto was doing. A three pronged attack, which was unavoidable. The reason he wasn’t taking his rook was simple to position the rook where it could be taken to insure his defeat. Shikamaru was happy he saw it in time. Moving his rook away, the black haired genin smirked at his friend. Wondering what his next move will be.
“Um….why don’t you just move this.” Maya said pushing Naruto bishop across the board, in the direct line of the king.
“Maya-chan!” Naruto whined, as Shikamaru looked at the move. He was just about to move the king only to find it was impossible. His rook being close to Naruto king was keeping Naruto bishop from making the final move. Wow….he was not expecting that.
“Your win.” Shikamaru said. Naruto hummed, crossing his arms.
“It’s a draw. Maya-chan cheated.” Naruto muttered.
“What? No I didn’t.” Maya exclaimed.
“She touched the piece thus showing you the move. It’s a draw.”
            Shikamaru stared at him for a moment, watching as Maya pinched his cheeks. He chuckled lowly, understanding why he pushed for the draw instead of the win. “Ok, it’s a draw. How about Saturday, we have a rematch?”
“Awesome, same time.” Naruto said, with a little hindrance.
“Alright.” Shikamaru said. Pulling out a bag, the boy began moving the pieces into it. He glanced up a bit watching Naruto fend off Maya’s pinching attacks. Aya got in it a bit protecting his cheeks from her evil ‘cousin.’
“Hey Shikamaru, want to join us for dinner?” Naruto asked his head in the protective custody of Aya’s arms.
“Sorry. It’s not possible today.” Shikmaru said, closing his cotton bag.
“Aw, ok. Then another time.” Naruto said frowning.
“Yeah. You know, you could always come to my house. My mom sees you as her dream kid.” Shikamaru said, smirking. Naruto’s mouth dropped in horror.
“Um…I’ll take a ring check on that.” Naruto said sweating a bit. His mom was scary, so very scary.
“Ok. I’ll make sure to mention it to her.” Shikamaru said, picking up the board. He stood up a moment later Choji following his lead.
“Later guys.” Naruto exclaimed, waving his hands about. Maya and Aya joined in, Maya with a simple nod and Aya with a small wave.
“Later.” Shikamaru replied.
“Bye, good luck on your missions!” Choji shouted.
“Good luck on yours too.” Maya shouted out smiling. The girls watched them go, walking to the road before heading towards their homes. Once they were far enough away, she looked at Naruto who was humming a little.
“So, what’s the plan for food?” Naruto asked.
“I still say bbq.” Maya answered.
“How about ramen?” Aya suggested. Maya eyebrows furrowed, the idea not to her liking. Naruto on the other hand liked it very much. He stood, Aya moving off him.
“That sounds….good.” Naruto said, licking his lips.
“I don’t think so.” Maya disagreed. “We had ramen yesterday.” Maya stood; ready to stop him from doing the inevitable.
“RAMEN!” Naruto exclaimed like it was the best thing in the world.
“Wait!” She shouted, lunging at him. Her arms wrapped around air, the blonde already on the road. Maya stumbled a bit but managed to recover without falling. She looked up around to spot her friend, but he was gone, like a cheetah chasing its prey. Aya giggled, Maya letting out a sigh.
“And thus his addiction continues.” Aya cheered. Maya looked at her shaking her head.
“Let’s go….before he eats all his money away.”
            By the time they located the shop, their friend no doubly went to, the sky over the village of Konoha was completely dark, the street lights, moon, and stars illuminating the night. People roamed the streets, some going to bars to get wasted and have the time of their lives, while other went to hot springs, and the few others, going over to that special person’s place to get a little more comfortable. Then there was another portion of the people who were just going out to eat before returning to their homes, not wanting to wait their time cooking.
            Walking under the flaps of the shop named Ichiraku, they spotted Naruto, sitting on the middle chair, slurping some noodles, the broth flying off the soft pasta. Two other people were sitting at the stand though they were spaced away from Naruto. A tower of five bowls was off to his right, the sixth now in his hands. “Six already?” Maya asked, surprised and slightly disgusted. He left them like six minutes ago. He ate like a pig.
            Naruto turned his head to her, grinning, his cheeks puffed, holding all the noodles he was eating. Swallowing Naruto gave her a thumb up. “It’s just so good.” Naruto said. Turning his head back forward, he raised his hand. “Ayame-chan, old man! One more.” He cheered.
            “Aye! Naruto kun.” The cook behind the stand said, a jovial smile on his face. The man stood just about 5 feet 8 inches tall. His hair is lightly greyed and short. His face held like wrinkles, showing his age. His eyes were closed, hiding his brown eyes. A crisp, clean white robe covered what was visible of his torso; it was devoid of any and all oil or broth. It showed how precise he was when handing food. A white cap was on his head, a red stamp meaning chief on the front of it.
“I’m sorry but Naruto has had enough for tonight.” Maya interjected, politely.
“But Maya-chan, I’m so hungry.” Naruto whined. “Rawwwr!” Naruto grumbled, pretending it was his stomach. “See, my tummy wants more.”
Maya stared at him, Aya taking a see next to him. “No. You’ve had enough.”
“Ah! Maya-chan, aren’t you being a little to stern?” Another voice interjected. Her eyes went to a woman, behind the counter. She was taller than Maya, standing at just about 5 foot 2. Long brown hair came down, just passed her shoulder. Bangs of her well-kept hair framed her face, her right eye being slightly covered. Her gentle eyes share the same color as her hair. Her fair skin and slender frame is covered mostly by a white robe, the sleeves of said robe was folded to her elbows. A white bandana was on her head, tying her hair in a sort of ponytail.
“Ayame don’t try and help him. He’s barely eats healthy as it is.” Maya said.
“Ramen is healthy!” Naruto exclaimed, slamming his fist on the table. “It hold all that is necessary for a growing boy to um….you know grow.”
“Oh? Like what? What vitamins and minerals are in ramen that makes it healthy?” Maya asked, a firm expression on her face. She was serious about this and would not let up. Everyone in the shop looked at Naruto, waiting to hear his response, even the ones who were trying to ignore the boy.
Naruto took a moment thinking it over. Obviously he didn’t know. It wasn’t important. What mattered was that it was delicious. And he would voice as much. “It doesn’t matter, it’s good.” Naruto exclaimed. Everyone laughed, even the two at the side. Naruto didn’t know why they were laughing, it was the truth.
“Aw, Naruto-kun. You’re so cute.” Ayame said playfully. Naruto turned to her, smiling as she reached over, the counter, rubbing his head.
“Ah, thank you. You are quite the beauty yourself.” Naruto replied, giving what he would call a sexy smirk. Ayame blushed, it wasn’t often she was called beautiful, but then again she didn’t go out much.
            Three “Ahem.” Came out, two from the girls and one from the old man. Ayame drew her hand back, smiling nervously at the older man. Said man looked at the two newcomers. “What would you two like?” He asked.
“A medium miso ramen, please.” Aya ordered politely.
“Same.” Maya said, taking a seat.
“Me to, except make it a…”
“No, you had enough.” Maya interrupted. Naruto frowned at her, crossing his arms.
“But I want another one.” He muttered, like a child not getting his way.
“You haven’t even finished the one in front of you.” Maya said.
“Come on Maya. Let him have one more.” Aya said. Her plead seemed to fall on deaths door, Maya lifting up her chin, her arms crossed.
“Fine…meanie.” Naruto let out. His attention came back to his bowl, which only had the broth left. Sighing the boy grabbed the bowl, downing the contents in seconds. With a burp, Naruto placed the bowl down. “So good.”
            Maya shook her head, where was his manners.
Aya giggled lowly, covering her mouth, Naruto was so stupid at times. “You guys make the best ramen.” The blonde praised.
“Hehehe, we are only so good because of our number one customer.” The old man said.
“Well, I don’t want to toot my own horn.” Naruto said turning, his ego growing larger.
“Yes you do, every night.” Maya said, looking away. Naruto looked at her, his face red with embarrassment.
“Wow! I would never have guessed.” Ayame teased, giggling lowly. Aya had her hand to her mouth, surprised at her Maya’s retort. The ramen chief let out a little chuckle, to be young.
“Don’t believe that, Ayame-chan. She lying!” Naruto shouted, pointing at the girl.
“Then why were you up late last night?” Maya asked looking to the left.
Naruto paused, slightly put off. “How did you know I was up?” Maya smiled at him and the blonde realized he had just been tricked. “Aww, damn it.” Naruto muttered. Everyone laughed again, finding great pleasure in Naruto’s embarrassment.
Their dinner time passed by slowly, the five of them enjoying themselves with simple conversation. They found delight in the playful bickering between the three kids. The meal of the two girls was slowly enjoyed between the three of them, Aya deciding to share with the blonde when her cousin wasn’t looking. As good as the two was at hiding it; Maya found out and scolded them both, though Naruto got the worst of it.
Even after they finished their meals, the three stayed, causing an array of laughter from the two cooks. Before they realized it an hour passed and Maya being the responsible one of the group ushered them out. Taking out his wallet, Naruto paid for the meal, before they bid the father and daughter duo good night.
Walking away, Naruto could hear a few steps behind them, going into the shop. He guessed there were people who couldn’t stomach his presence. Oh well. What should he care, the important people in his life was right next to him. Not to say Maya and Aya was the only ones, but they were the most important.
The three of them walked, enjoying each other’s company. The night was suited them pretty well, the cool air calming them. “So, how hard do you think your test is going to be?” Naruto asked turning his head to Aya.
“Well, I don’t think it will be that hard. I’m not even sure what it would be.” Aya replied.
“Well, I think it will be the…”
“Well it best to be prepared for anything.” Naruto said, interrupting his silver haired friend. Maya looked at him, and the boy grinned at her shaking his head slightly. She blinked before understanding.
“Yeah, be prepared for any and everything. Especially Sasuke and his “Don’t get in my way attitude.” Maya said. Naruto nodded turning his head back to the brunette.
“All long as you watch out for yourself and teammates you should be fine.” Naruto said. Aya nodded taking in their advice.
“What did you two have to do for your test?” Aya asked. Naruto grinned while Maya laughed. “What?” Aya didn’t see the joke.
“Well we had to fight her….for a while.” Naruto said scratching his cheek.
“Yeah, we got beat. Naruto did get a hit on her though.” Maya said.
“Waah! You were able to hit a jounin?” Aya asked, surprised.
“Yeah….” Naruto let out, it wasn’t the first time. “All you need to remember when fighting is, the only thing he has on you is experience and jutsu, but I doubt he would use any dangerous ones, so go for the kill.” Aya blinked, shocked.
“I don’t want to kill him.” Aya exclaimed.
“You don’t have to want to. But when you go with the intent to kill, one doesn’t hold back. And since he has an overwhelming advantage already, you might as well go into battle at your full capabilities.” Maya explained. Once again Aya nodded, thinking about their advice. “By the way….Where are you heading?” She looked at Naruto, as she posed her question.
“Huh? I’m walking you two home.” Naruto said, tilting his head. Wasn’t that obvious? Maya shook her head stopping in her tracks. The two followed suit, Aya’s eyes now on Naruto.
“We are close to your home; there is no reason for you to follow us nearly half way across the village just to come back.” Maya said.
“But what if something…”
“Nothing is going to happen.” Maya interrupted. “Besides we have to wake up early and you aren’t an early raiser.”
Naruto was about to say something, but then again, she was right. Morning was the worst part of the day. Scratching his cheek, the blonde sighed. “Alright.” He agreed. Taking a step closer to them, Naruto grabbed their hands.
“Maya-chan, Aya-chan” He started his voice slightly lower in tone. “Hanging out with you has made this dark desolate day into one filled with brightness and love.” Naruto kissed the back of their hands; causing the brunette to blush and the silver haired girl roll her eyes. “It breaks make heart to have be apart from you two.” His tone holding enough misery to bring tears to the most harden person, or so he thought. “But know this, we will meet again.” Naruto said smiling. Maya quickly retracted her hand turning from him.
“Yeah I know, we are on the same team.” Maya said shaking her head. “And stop trying to act romantic; you’re not good at it.” Maya said. Though Maya wouldn’t lie to herself, it made her happy to hear.
‘Hmmm, I thought it was good. Oh well, I have to try harder now.’ Naruto thought releasing Aya’s hand.
“Alright, make it home quickly and safely Naruto.” Maya said.
“Don’t worry I will.” Naruto said.
“See you later, Naruto.” Aya said, waving her hand.
“Later Aya-chan.” Naruto returned, he turned his head to Maya smirking a bit. “See you later my little Maya-chwan.”
Maya’s mouth twitched, so he wanted to play games huh? Turning back to Naruto, she smiled. “See you tomorrow, at 7:30, Whiskers.” Maya said, drawing out his nickname.
Naruto’s smirk left his face, his mouth quirked in irritation. Before he could respond, the two cousins began walking away. Naruto sent out a few more pulses of chakra, the image of their retreating forms coming to his mind. He waited there for a moment, the two of them no longer in range. A sigh left his mouth. It was now time to return to the apartment.
Naruto walked down the street, finding a quite a good number of people walking to their homes. They ignored him, though Naruto wasn’t really trying to get their attention. He tended to do the same to them. Why should he pay attention to those who overlooked him?
Climbing the steps leading to his door, the blonde noticed a foul stench. Like rotten fruit. Sending out a pulse of chakra, the boy received exactly what the cause of the smell was. He groaned, the image of a mass of rotten fruit and vegetables at his door appearing in his mind. “Son of a bitch.” Naruto growled. “When I find out who did this, I’m going to beat them half to death.”
The blonde walked forward, preforming three seals. He touched the door, an orange glow rippling from his point of contact. A large five point seal, reminiscing of a star with three circles going through it, appeared on the door and windows. If anyone was around, they could make out the small runic like words on the outside of the circles.
The orange glow came back, rippling to the tips of Naruto’s hand. A low hiss reached the boy’s ear, though he felt nothing. After a moment, both the seal and the field of glowing energy disappeared, leaving his hand on the wooden door. Naruto retracted his hand, sending it into his pocket for a short journey. He pulled out his a ring with two keys attached. Grabbing the one he knew was to his door, he put it into the lock, grabbing the knob with his left hand. Naruto turned the key, hearing a click noise as he did so.
He entered his apartment, stepping over the mess outside. Closing and locking the door behind him, Naruto sent a pulse of chakra out. The room is about 12 x 12 feet containing a three person couch in the middle of the room. A television was up against the wall in front of it. A dresser, just about half of Naruto’s height, was up against the wall behind the sofa. A couple of picture frames decorated the top of it. The first held a picture of Maya, Aya and Naruto playing in a river, they looked to be 12 in the picture. The next picture held the image Naruto and Maya doing one of their many challenges, in this one, they looked about 10 years old. The last held the blonde and the Natsume cousins posing for the camera, though there was an older silver haired boy in the image, standing in-between Maya and Aya, his arms wrapped around them.
A large book case stood in the corner of the room, next to the door Naruto knew lead to the dining room/kitchen. A foot away from the TV was a hall that leads to the bathroom and his bedroom. Naruto rubbed his head, sliding out his sandals. At least he could rest now.
He walked forward, taking off his shirt and leather strap, which held his katana. Naruto dropped them on his couch as he walked passed. He felt no need to check anything, everything as in it’s rightfully place, only three people could get in, and two of them wouldn’t screw with his stuff.
He walked straight to his room, not really having anything else to do. Walking into his room, Naruto moved over to his bed, which was right up against the wall, near a window which held a beautiful scene of the village in the night. He sat down, wondering what he should do, until he actually felt like he needed sleep. He turned his head, to the dresser in arms reach. He sent a pulse of chakra out, finding exactly where to aim. He grabbed his clock and turned the alarm on. It would be best not to be late.
Naruto placed the clock back down, turning his head to the left. A dreadful feeling was slowly making its way into Naruto’s heart. The source of the alarming emotion was locked behind a glass showcase. It was quite large, 5 feet high and three feet wide. The clear glass is sealed shut by a small lock, or so it seemed. The case was made out of wood, though it is painted over in a blue color.
Two katana rested in the case, red cloth keeping it in a warm embrace. The first one was the longer of the two, being of a length of 70 inches overall. The long hilt, being long enough for more than two hands to be on it at once, is wrapped neatly by a purple leather cord. There was no cross guard separating the blade and the hilt like normal swords. A brown sheath protected the blade from the peeking eyes of any outsider. There was a dirtied, white, tattered cloth spiraling down the sheath, giving the sword an old look.
Next to it is a smaller katana, being of the length 46 ½ inches. A red sheath engraved by a long, red, wingless dragon flying up the case, covered the blade. The sword has a circular guard that looked much like dragon circling around the hilt. The hilt was wrapped neatly with red nylon cloth.
The blonde turned his head away from the case, knowing the cause of such a feeling. For some reason it wasn’t really that bad of a sensation, it was actually quite comforting to tell the truth. But then again, Naruto was weird.
Lying on his bed, Naruto contemplated whether or not to take his forehead protector off. It wouldn’t be that much of a hassle to leave it on, nor would he have to worry about anything. Letting out another sigh, the boy wondered when exactly he would fall asleep.
Naruto jumped up, the blaring of a ringing being the sole cause. His hand moved like lightening, grabbing the source of the racket. He tossed it hard, aiming for the wall across from him.
Smash!
“Shit.” Naruto’s warily voice came out. That was his alarm clock wasn’t it? “Maya’s going to have my ass for that.” He muttered, rubbing his forehead. He frowned, not knowing when exactly he fell asleep. In all actuality he was still tired. It didn’t even feel like he slept at all. But if his alarm went off then it was at least 6:30. Getting out of his bed, Naruto released a loud yawn, not even caring to cover his mouth.
It was his house, he was alone. Fuck manners.
Naruto left his room, heading over to the bathroom. It was time to start his morning routine.
It didn’t take long for him, to leave the apartment, wearing a plain red shirt, with a red and white spiral design on the back, and black pants. His kunai pouch was on the back his waist and his shuriken holster on his right leg. He had his trusted katana strapped to his back like always, ready to be drawn at a moment’s notice. Naruto redid the seal on his house, keeping everyone who didn’t know how to release it out. He even managed to clean up the mess from last night. Tossing up one apple as he ate another, the boy walked down to the street, knowing it was around 6:30 now.
            Once he reached the bottom of the stairs, Naruto took a brief moment to wonder if he should take his time or rush to meet Maya-chan. She would be surprised that he was up this early then her. His decision made, the blonde pocketed his extra apple. He bit on the fruit he had already begin eating and made a ram seal. After a second, a cloud of smoke engulfed him, signaling his departure.
            Naruto arrived minutes later at his destination, apple long gone. The area was an almost deserted part of the village. It had a slightly eerie feeling to it that only the blonde seemed to notice. He turned his head, facing one of the largest houses in this part of the village. From where he was standing even if he could see it, he would be unable to see the brown roof tiles. It looked to be a traditional type of mansion, being slightly elevated from the ground. A set of stairs was in front of him, leading to the front door. There was a wooden walkway, seemingly going around the house.
            From what he knew, there were two floors. On the first floor there was a dojo inside, large kitchen, living room, and an array of other rooms that held books, notes and weaponry. On the second floor were just a lot of bed rooms, each with their own taste and design. On the left of the house was an outdoor hot spring that Naruto is happy to have used quite a few times. The backyard was expansive, having a garden, a small fish pond with specialized fish inside and a small bridge over it.
            Oh how Naruto would just love to live this house. Too bad he wasn’t part of their family….well yet. A huge grin came on his face as he walked up the small flight of stairs. He drew out his keys once again, putting the key into the door. Yes he had a key to this house. Why? Maya thought it would best if he did. He opened the door, being as quiet as possible. Naruto took a step inside, sending a pulse out. The first thing he received was a set of stairs leading up to the second floor; two doors each side of the room, close to the base of the stairs. The door on the left of the stairs lead to the living room, kitchen, and hot springs; on the right towards the dojo, weapons storage, and historical texts.
            Knowing that Maya would probably still be in her room, Naruto walked up the stairs, leaving his foot ware at the door. Upon reaching the top, the blonde turned to the left hoping to sneak up on his friend. It was the best thing to do in the morning. He began to sneak to her room, his steps as silent as a ninja.
            The blonde made it to her door, crouching on the floor. He listened for a moment, only hearing the soft breathing from inside. He smiled; he would get her this time. He grabbed the doorknob and gave it a light twist. With a soft push, the door creaked opened. Naruto gritted his teeth, hoping the sleeping girl inside would not be stirred by the slight noise. He heard no movement from her, so she wasn’t awake. Good, he would be able to complete his mission.
            Sliding the door open, Naruto moved inside. He closed the door behind him, so it wouldn’t close on its own. Just a slight precaution, it had ruined his attack once before. He moved close to the kings size bed, that was really too big for her. Once he was in perfect attack position, Naruto counted down in his head. ‘3, 2…1’ he leapt up, making sure not to shout anything out like he was known to do.
Too bad it didn’t really matter.
            The moment he reached the peak of his leap, the sound of rustling sheet reached his ears. He barely had time to register what was going on before he was flipped over the bed, landing on his back. As soon as he landed, an extra weight came down on his abdomen, forcing the air out of his lungs. He coughed the mass coming down too suddenly for him to prepare. “Naruto, Naruto, Naruto.” Maya chanted her voice smug. “You just aren’t good enough to get me.”
                 Finally deciding to send out a pulse of chakra, Naruto found his silver haired friend sitting on his chest. What made this so much more interesting was she was in her underclothes, a matching pair of red. “Oh? You just got lucky.” Naruto responded, not at all upset about their current position.
“Luck is one time, not ten.” Maya corrected.
“The world is just against me in the morning.” Naruto said. “Now, as wonderful as it is to be in such a position with you, I’ll have to ask you to get up.” Maya only smiled, rising off him. She stepped over him, moving to sit on her bed. Crossing her legs, the girl stared at Naruto.
            The blond sat up, turning his body to her. “So, how was cooking for Aya-chan?” Naruto asked.
Maya let out a sigh. “Stop doing that. It’s not necessary for you to add honorifics to our names.”
“But, it just sounds sooooo awesome.” Naruto whined. “Maya-chwannn!”
She rolled her eyes, so it was useless. “Anyway, Aya left before I had a chance to make breakfast.” Maya seemed unusually upset about it.
“So she didn’t eat.” Naruto mumbled. “Don’t worry Maya-chan, there will be other chances.”
“Yeah, yeah. We have less than an hour left before we have to report to Anko.” Maya said. “What should we do?”
“You should get ready.” Naruto said standing. A second later a lecherous grin appeared on his face. “Unless you want to go like that. I’m completely fine with it.”
“Shut up.” Maya said, dismissing him. “And what will you do?”
“Head over to wish Aya-chan good luck. And give her an apple.” Naruto said shrugging. “It’s something.”
“Yeah it is.” Maya stood, moving over to her closet. “I’ll meet you over there then.”
“Alright, sweet heart.” Naruto said.
“Do you know where Aya is?” Maya asked, grabbing a pair of black pants and a white shirt.
“Um, no. But It shouldn’t take me long to locate her.” Naruto replied. Maya moved over to the bed, placing her clothing down, before moving to dresser.
“She’s at training area 7.” Maya said.
“Thanks.” Naruto said walking over to the door. “Don’t take too long getting ready. I would hate to see hebi-chan angry.”
“Uh-huh yea.” Maya said, dismissing it. Why should she care if their teacher was angry?
            Naruto opened the door, shaking his head. He could see this becoming a problem. Naruto went down to the front door, grabbing his sandals along the way. Naruto took the time to slip them on before he left the house, making sure he locked the door behind him. “Hm, training area 7…” Naruto muttered, walking down the stairs. He wasn’t really sure exactly where it was, but it shouldn’t take him long to find it.
It took Naruto nearly 25 minutes to find his friend, who was sitting at the base of a tree, her bag on her left side. Sakura was standing next to Sasuke, her face showing her grogginess. Sasuke seemed to be the only one who was fully awake, most likely he went to bed a little earlier than normal. Sakura let out a yawn, her long pink hair swaying just a bit. It seems that it was infectious; Aya yawn a few seconds later.
Naruto stood out of sight, smirking as he planned to wake them up. He cracked his knuckles, drawing two smoke bombs and some wire from his pouch. “Let the show start.” Naruto whispered.
Aya stared ahead, wondering if she should get some more sleep. If they were right, then Kakashi-sensei wouldn’t be here for a while. She was starting to regret not making anything to eat this morning. She looked at Sakura, thinking of something to say. Before she had a chance though, two small bombs landed in between them, exploding into a large plume of smoke. All three of them inhaled the smoke, going into a fit of coughing.
“Who…*koff, koff* did that?!” Sakura let out.
“I don’t know.” Aya replied, quickly moving out of the smoke.
“I, Kyaaaa!”
            Both Aya and Sasuke turned, being the ones out of the smoke. “Sakura-san?” Aya called, as the smoke cleared. Both of them noticed the complete absence of their teammate. Aya quickly drew a kunai, wary of the situation. Sasuke was glancing around, his body relaxed in case he had to move quickly. He began to lower his bag to the ground, Aya looking around for their teammate.
            She turned, hearing a slight rustle. She found herself regretting such action, the sounds of a brief struggle going on behind her. She turned, quickly, only finding the last Uchiha to be missing. She narrowed her eyes, tightening the grip on her kunai. Whoever took her teammates did so very skillfully. Her first thought was her sensei, but it somehow didn’t seem like him. She took a deep breath, extending her senses.
            It took a moment, but the sounds of movement and muffled voices reached her ears. The source was nearby. She turned around, her back facing where Sasuke just was. As she walked towards where she believed the source was, the sounds became louder. Aya pressed herself up against the tree, the shifting becoming louder. She peeked back, trying to see what was moving. Her eyes widen, the girl moving out of her spot.
Well…she found Sakura.
            The pink haired girl was tied to the tree, her feet about two feet from the ground. Her arms were above her head, a gag in her mouth, keeping her from shouting obscenities. Her eyes were narrowed, tears of anger in her eyes at her embarrassing position. Wire was patterned in diamonds, binding her in a way that made her breast pop out. She noticed that the wire even went in between her legs, which she found to be bound in a way so she could squeeze her legs shut.
            Aya stared, her eyes lids lowering a bit. She knew who did this. How? Because said person did something like this last year, just with a teacher, a young looking female teacher, with nice perky breast. Her kunai lowered, if she had to guess, her blond haired, perverted friend was going to pop behind her, whispering something like. “You’re open Aya-chan”
Yeah, that’s exactly what he would…Fuck.
            Aya raised her arm left arm, turning as his hands landed on her chest. He got a chance to squeeze before she attacked, bringing her elbow down on his head. The brunette didn’t know how he dodged it so perfectly, but he did. He leapt back from her, laughing like a mad man.
“Naruto!” She exclaimed, a red hue painting her cheeks. Naruto smiled at her raising his hands behind his head.
“Good morning Aya-chan.” Naruto greeted casually as if he didn’t just grope his friend.
“What are you doing here?” She asked, thinking up how she would get him back.
“I came to wish you good luck.” Naruto said. “Oh and give you this.” He went in his pocket, drawing out his extra apple. He tossed it to her and she caught it with both of her hands. She looked at it realizing it was an apple. “You shouldn’t have dodged eating.” Naruto said walking closer to her.
“But Kakashi-sensei said….”
“Doesn’t matter. He hasn’t begun teaching you yet.” Naruto interrupted, walking passed her. Aya watched him as he moved up to Sakura. “If he has a problem, send him my way.” Naruto stopped right in front of the girl, her struggling revamped.
“Why….did you tie her up?” Aya asked, figuring it would be best to get on the here and now.
“Truth?” Naruto asked, placing his hands on the immobile girl’s legs. Aya nodded feeling a ping of pain in her chest, hoping against what she was thinking. “She let me.” Naruto turned his head to her. “She put up no defensive.” A grin crept up on his face, his head turning back to the girl who was now trying to shout.
“Where’s Sasuke?” Aya asked, watching as his hands rose.
“I put him in the bushes, on the right side of where you were sitting.” Naruto answered.
“Stop!” Aya shouted, watching his hands rise to the height of Sakura’s breast. Naruto turned his head back to her, pouting.
“But Aya-chan, how can I not take advantage of this?” He exclaimed.
“Just, just don’t.” Aya said. “I-if you don’t, I won’t hit you for groping me.” She looked around a bit, finding a way to sweeten the deal. “…or tell Maya.”
            Naruto’s hands dropped instantly, getting a free get out of jail card. “Ok.” Naruto said turning. Aya let out a sigh, she didn’t like watching him grope girls. “Anyway, I have to go. I can’t be late. Make sure you are careful with getting her down.” Naruto smiled at Aya, giving her a thumps up. “Later.”
“Later.” Aya said, waving her hand a little. Naruto disappeared leaving a puff of smoke in his wake. Aya watched as the smoke disappeared, leaving the sight of Sakura trying to force her way out of her binding. Thinking about it now, she should have had Naruto do it. At least that way she wouldn’t have to hear about this for the next few hours.
Maya hummed, wondering how long she would have to wait. Looking at a watch that she conveniently found, she noticed it was three minutes till the meeting time. She dropped her hand, looking over to the half full bag of meat buns. She had bought them on her way here, figuring Naruto had eaten a single piece of fruit only.
Suddenly a presence skated on the edge of her senses. She perked up a bit, glancing around in a casual manner. Her guard was up even though it didn’t seem like it. Her eyes fell on her katana which was leaned up against a tree. Should she grab it?
“MAYA-CHAAAAAN!”
A loud shout brought her eyes back. She twisted her body, deciding to meet the incoming blonde missile head on. Maya raised her arms up, capturing the projectile, though it didn’t stop her from falling back. She managed to position their bodies so she would land on top, a feat that she found pretty easy to do in this sudden situation.
The blonde caught on to her though, continuing the motion she started. The moment he hit the ground, they began rolling, their hair mixing into a silver and blonde swirl. A moment passed, the two rolling into a tree which effectively stopped their movement.
Maya looked down at the culprit, straddling his waist with her arms at either side of his head. A huge grin was plastered on her beautiful face, her eyes looking down at her friend. “Come on Naruto, you couldn’t beat me when we were 8, couldn’t beat me when we were 9, couldn’t beat me when you 10, not to mention you couldn’t beat me this morning.” Maya listed, her smug tone bringing a scowl to Naruto’s face. “So, what makes you think you can beat me now?”
Naruto groaned, not liking the taste of defeat yet again. “Okay, okay. Just let me up.” The blue eyed girl laughed, rising off him. She stepped over his body, heading over to her bag of meat buns. Before she got five steps away, Naruto leaped at her again. He didn’t notice the smirk on her face as she glanced back.
This was all too easy for her.
She turned grabbing the blonde once more. She let herself get tackled; going towards the ground she began to spin, making sure Naruto was on the bottom. But of course he didn’t leave it at that. It wouldn’t be fun if he did.
They rolled around on the ground, Maya’s laughter ranging out as they did. They moved on quite a bit, turning like a cart wheel. Minutes passed, neither one giving way to the other.
They were so preoccupied with each other; neither felt the entrance of their purple haired teacher, though she didn’t really try to announce herself either. She found it entertaining to watch the two as they played; she did some looking and found they have been friends since just around 7. She wondered how it would play out being teammates.
After another moment they finally stopped. Maya was once again on top, her hands pinning down the boys shoulders. A predatorily smirk appeared on her face, her sharp eyes seemingly piercing through that plate that covered his eyes. “Pinned you again” Maya said. Her smug statement only made the boy growl, this was certainly not his morning.
“I-I let you win.” He exclaimed
Maya smirk only widen, “So you are telling me you like being on the ground?”
Naruto grinned, finding a way out of his shameful lost. “Actually, I just like you bei…”
“So are you two going to make out? Or am I wasting my time?”
Both genin turned to the voice; Naruto sending out a pulse of chakra. The image of his Anko came back to him, her eyes ogling the both of them, as if expecting something. Maya on the other hand stared at their teacher. She glanced at her wrist, finding it passed the intended time.
“You’re late.” Maya said, glaring at the woman. Did she not know training is a serious matter?
“Actually, I got here right on time.” Anko said casually. She walked over to the two, who had yet to change their position. “But you two look like you were having fun. Who am I to ruin that?”
Maya looked at Naruto. Oh yeah, she had found the bad influence.
“So um….What kind of training are we doing today?” Naruto asked, deciding to just get back on track. Maya looked at Anko again, choosing now to let the boy under her go.
“We’re going to start off sparing.” Anko said a huge, cheery smile on her face.
“Ok….Um any reason why?” Naruto asked, standing. Maya joined him a second later, patting down her clothes of any dust.
“Uh-uh, no questioning, just get ready.” Anko said, cracking her knuckles. Maya and Naruto faced each other, both thinking, ‘this is going to be fucked up.’

Naruto of the Ryuugan
