Title: Façade
Author:
Blue-eyed Fox
Authoress’ Notes:
I know that the previous chapter was humorous… I made it
that way just for the sake of not making the whole fic so damn gloomy. So from
the latter part of this chapter and onward, expect more dramatic parts and very
little humor so to speak… (Smiles)
And again! Thanks for the reviews! I’m sure some of you
might be disappointed (yes, some of you might have been truly disappointed)
about the last chapter for seeing some of the characters totally out of line…
Gomen! (Bows head)
Okay, this chapter still has a bit of humor
in it… Just a bit…
Legend:
:…: Naruto’s
conversation with Kyuubi.
“…” Mental thoughts.
- - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - -
It was already past four in the afternoon when Shizune
returned to the Hokage’s office looking battered. Tsunade looked at her
assistant. (1)
“What happened to you? Why do you look like you just came
home from war?” Shizune looked at the Hokage with a weary look as she began to
narrate what had happened earlier in the training grounds.
- Flashback -
BOOM!
And down goes the poor innocent trees.
“Iruka-sensei!!! Calm down! I demand that you stop it
right this instant!” Naruto hollered trying to catch up with the distraught
teacher of his. The others however were trying to avoid the falling trees and
the fragments of whatever that was flying towards their directions.
Naruto then looked ahead and saw that the four shinobi’s
that Iruka-sensei were trying to punish, more or less kill, were cornered. So with
his quick thinking, he jumped ahead of his teacher and landed right in front of
the four horror-stricken shinobis.
“Iruka-sensei!” Naruto spread his arms in defense of the
four poor shinobis behind him.
“Naruto save us!” They all hid behind his back seeking
refuge from Iruka’s wrath. Right then, the rest of Rookie 9 also came in
defense of the shinobis.
Good thing the three Jounin teachers including Shizune
were able to hold him down before he even neared where Naruto was.
“Calm down man, what’s gotten in to you. Someone stole
your pants or something?” Asuma held on to Iruka’s right arm, holding him in
place.
“Sensei, you’re destroying the training grounds!” Kurenai
reprimanded, looking flustered than ever.
“Umino-san! Why are you are you so determined to punish
those four youthful shinobis? I’m sure that whatever it is, they did not mean
it…” Gai was about to begin his speech of youth when Iruka butted in.
“Those FOUR were thinking of perverted thoughts towards
Naruto! Can you imagine what they could do further?!”
“Why? What were they thinking sensei?” Sakura asked.
“These four said that I was ‘hot’.” Naruto
deadpanned.
“You forgot to include the word ‘incredibly’,
Naruto-kun.” Kotetsu supplied.
All of them, including the Jounins and the rest of Rookie
9 stared at Naruto finally noticing the changes.
“You DO look good Naruto.” Kurenai said after checking out
Naruto from head to toe.
“Youth does have its perks!” Lee sighed.
“I have to agree, you do look HOT.” Kiba drawled.
Hinata, Ino and Sakura, Ten-ten were blushing, thankfully,
three shades of red, after what it seemed like ogling at him from head to toe.
“You forgot the word ‘incredibly’.” Genma
said with a passion.
“Add the word ‘sizzling’ and everything else
would be in place.” Kiba added his two cents worth.
Neji, Sasuke, Shikamaru, Shino, and the six male shinobis
nodded their heads dumbly in agreement.
Naruto, and the rest of the girls however sweatdropped at
their reactions.
All of them suddenly felt cold as they slowly looked at
Iruka’s direction. Unknowingly, the seemingly ‘innocent’ conversation had
further fuelled Iruka’s protective nature. Thus, making the supposed control
and rescue squad, the new victims of Iruka’s wrath.
“All of you… I definitely won’t allow any of you to have
your perverted thoughts messing around Naruto’s innocence!” Iruka whipped out
as he started to chase the group of male shinobis through the training grounds
apart from Chouji who never really participated in the conversation since he
was practically busy munching on his chips.
At that moment, all of them had a silent agreement, they
vowed to never enrage the usually calm and collected chuunin whatever the
consequences were.
“Ne, Shizune-san, what do we do now?” Naruto was
practically twitching at the scene before him.
“We better restrain him before he decides that the next
training ground is the village.”
General sweatdrops ensued as they quickly followed the new
path that Iruka created.
Unexpectedly, Shizune, Naruto and the rest of the girls saw
a couple of ANBU members who were also out and about at the training grounds,
had their hopes that they could ask for their help and assistance, but instead,
ended up as additional targets for Iruka who happened to see that most of them
were trying to flirt and grope Naruto’s cute ass. (2)
- End of Flashback -
“And so Naruto, the rest of the female Shinobis and I were
the ones left to restrain Umino-san. Good thing Naruto-kun came up with an idea
from all the chasing and immediately caught up with Umino-san. Naruto-kun then
gave Umino-san one of his ‘puppy-eyed-looks’ as he asked, well, begged
Umino-san that he wanted to get Ramen with him and catch up on things.” Shizune
heaved a heavy sigh before she collapsed on the nearby couch. “So that’s how Naruto-kun
managed to get Umino-san’s attention away from all of them.”
“Is that so? Maybe I should promote Iruka to Jounin rank.”
Tsunade mused after she had envisioned the said chain of events in her mind.
After all, insanity is a helpful mental state in accomplishing missions.
Shizune was too exhausted to argue. Suddenly, she
remembered that there was one more package left in her custody.
“Oh my! I forgot to give this back to Naruto-kun!” Shizune
wearily stood up but found herself reeling back in to the comforts of the
couch.
“What is it Shizune?”
“It’s Kakashi-san’s present. I forgot that he was on an
A-Class mission today.” Shizune dug out the parcel and shakily placed it on the
coffee table near her. Tsunade stood up from her seat, walked towards the coffee
table, and picked up the medium sized parcel.
“Shizune, I think it’s best that we give this parcel to
Kakashi when he returns from his mission.” The Hokage’s assistant gave her an
understanding look. “For now, I suggest that you go home and rest. I believe
you’re worn out to the bone.”
With that, Shizune slowly stood up from the couch and
trying hard not to fall back as she gave a swift bow to the Godaime before she
disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Tsunade then walked back to her desk and placed the parcel
inside the drawer. She then looked outside the office windows, staring at the
horizon, muttering a silent prayer to the heavens hoping that from this day
onwards, everything would turn out right for the blue-eyed blonde.
A group of young Shinobi lay exhausted, panting and
catching their breaths on the soft grass of the now safe training grounds.
Never in their life have they imagined a Chuunin running after them with the
most intense idea of skinning them alive.
It would have been easy to outwit a Chuunin, however, the
said Chuunin seemed to have evolved into a Super ANBU slash Hunter-nin. Just
because of his over-protective mother hen nature…
“Nature and nurture works in mysterious ways… Mental note:
Never Mess with MOTHER HEN!” All of them thought at that
moment…
After 10 bowls of Miso Ramen, Naruto sighed contentedly as
he took a sip of his green tea. Iruka looked at the boy beside him.
“He has changed a lot… Although some habits die hard…” Iruka noted
as he stared at Naruto with utter fascination.
“Ano sa, ano sa! Iruka-sensei, how have you been?” Iruka
brought his hands into a thinking position and tilted his head a little bit to
the side.
“Well, I’m definitely okay now, now that I’ve seen you.”
He looked at Naruto thoughtfully. “When you left without saying a word, I
resigned from being a teacher at the academy. Tsunade-hime was tight lipped
about you. So I did missions instead…” Iruka held the teacup in his hands, his
head bowed slightly with a faraway look in his eyes.
“I’m sorry, Iruka-sensei… There were things in my mind
back then… I wasn’t even thinking straight… A lot of things had happened and
bothered four years ago.”
“Why didn’t you come to me then? You know that I’m always
willing to listen and help you out Naruto.” Iruka pointed out.
“Well, that part I sort of forgot…” Naruto sheepishly
smiled as he darted out his tongue playfully, earning him a light smack on the
back of his head.
“I can’t tell him the truth… Well, maybe not yet. Four
years hasn’t done much to heal what was broken. If Iruka-sensei knew… He might
do something to him…maybe worse, kill him…” Naruto knew how
protective Iruka was when it came to him. The incident earlier was living proof
of that. He was like a father/brother figure to Naruto.
“You forgot?! What kind of reason is that?” Iruka was
appalled.
“I told you I wasn’t even thinking back then… But it’s ok
now.” Naruto beamed. He just had to second the thought of not telling the
chuunin, he knew he had to hide it.
Quickly changing the topic, Naruto paid their bill as he
dragged Iruka down the street, begging him to show him the things that had
changed since he was gone.
The two spent the whole time together catching up on
things. Naruto told him about his journey and training with Jiraiya which of
course, in some points in their conversation, almost gave Iruka a heart attack.
Iruka also told him that the older Uchiha was already came
back in town, Naruto just smiled. Right then, Jiraiya appeared in front of them
in a swirl of leaves.
“Jiraiya-sama!” Iruka’s jaw dropped as he looked at the
more or less battered and disheveled state of the white-haired sannin.
“What happened to you Ero-sennin?” Naruto looked aghast as
he scurried to his sensei’s side, followed by Iruka as they led Jiraiya to take
a seat. Jiraiya looked, if not more or less if you studied his state longer,
more battered as if he had done a despicable act in front of the village people
which often resulted to being mobbed on the spot.
Jiraiya grudgingly narrated how he got flung out the
window because of his accidental slip of the tongue with the flat-breasted
bitch Tsunade and how he landed in the bathhouse. With glee and dread, Jiraiya
also narrated his mixed fortune, when he had landed in the male section of the
onsen, relatively, a good part wherein he was able to sneak peek and take notes
for his ‘research’ at the women bathing at the other side. Fortunately,
or should I say, unfortunately for the white-haired toad sannin, he got caught,
was beaten up to a mush and went airborne the next five minutes only to land
yet again at a nearby bathhouse for the second time.
“You deserved it! You perverted sannin!” Naruto
and Iruka exclaimed mentally.
“Good thing I still have those intact.” Jiraiya said as he
referred to those things down under.
Iruka and Naruto on the other hand sweatdropped at the
level of perversity of the Toad Sannin and at the same time twitching, refusing
the urge to pummel the said sannin.
“Anyway Naruto, it’s best that I show you your new home.
Iruka-san, care to tag along?” Jiraiya stood up dusting his clothes.
“Yeah! That would be fun Iruka-sensei!”
“I appreciate it Naruto-kun, but I have an early shift
tomorrow. Maybe I’ll drop by in the afternoon.” Iruka smiled. (3)
“Okay, if that’s the case then I’ll make dinner. You’ll be
staying for dinner right?” Naruto suggested.
“You cook?”
“Believe it or not, but the boy can whip up something more
than just instant ramen.” Jiraiya sniggered as Naruto puffed his chest in defiance.
“Somehow, the idea of combining Rasengan and 1000 years of
pain to drive it up your not so sorry ass is beginning to be such a good
scheme, Ero-sennin.” Naruto drawled as he cracked his knuckles. Jiraiya paled
while Iruka began to picture the image of how it would end up.
“Well, you guys better get going. It’s getting late. See
you tomorrow Naruto-kun! Till then Jiraiya-sama.” Iruka bade as he went to the
direction of his apartment.
The latter two also went their way to Naruto’s new home.
As they walked through the streets of the village, Jiraiya asked Naruto how his
day had been.
Naruto grimaced as he recounted the events earlier that
day. Jiraiya was laughing out his heart delight upon hearing it, wishing all
the same that he were there to take notes. Who knows, it might have come in
handy by the time he decided to write Icha Icha Paradise Yaoi version, with
Naruto, as it’s main character.
: I’m sensing an odd vibe that the perverted sannin is up
to something kit. :
: What do you mean Kyuu-chan? : Naruto
raised a brow.
: Hmm, let’s just say something appallingly perverted so
to speak. : Kyuubi drawled.
: Kyuu-chan, everything in the sannin’s head is perverted
unless it has to do with him losing his family jewels. : Naruto
informed as Kyuubi snorted in her cage.
“So, did you get to see him?” Jiraiya walked
straight ahead, waiting for his student’s reaction.
“See who Ero-sennin?”
Jiraiya paused in his tracks as he stared at Naruto.
“It’s either that Jounin is on a mission or Naruto just
avoided him. I don’t see anything wrong as of the moment.” Jiraiya
pondered.
“Ero-sennin, something a matter?”
“Iie, I just remembered something that I forgot to ask
Tsunade.” Jiraiya pushed back the thought of mentioning the silver-haired
Jounin to Naruto. “Come on let’s get going before it gets too late…”
Thus, the two made their way to Naruto’s new home, every
so often, cracking up something funny. Unbeknown to them, a figure was hopping
pass them not too far from where they were.
- - - -
Somewhere in the outskirts of the Konohagakure no Sato, a
silver-haired jounin made it’s way back to the village. It was already ten in
the evening and he would have to immediately hand in his report. However, the
report can be done the following day. He wasn’t really the type of person who
would make a report explaining what had happened in the course of his rather
quick and uncomplicated mission at the said time of the night. What mattered
now is that he delivered the scrolls to the Hokage or rather hand it over to Shizune.
Very typical of the said Jounin, after all, he was famous for his rather
uncanny ways of making up weird excuses.
“Still, no news of him. It’s been four years, Naruto,
where are you…” Kakashi let out a heavy sigh, his thoughts on the
blonde lingered through in his mind as he reached the tower.
“Kakashi-san! You’re back early!” Shizune was surprised,
she had just known the nature of his mission and knew that he wouldn’t be back
till the day after tomorrow to say the least. (4)
“Everything went well, fortunately.” Kakashi smiled, his
visible eye curving upward.
“I see, you handing in you’re report now?” Shizune knew
that it was a dumb question. The jounin never submitted his reports on time, if
he ever did, it was either Tsunade had just reprimanded him yet again or
something was up his sleeve.
Kakashi chuckled good-naturedly, “Shizune-san, when did I
handed reports on time?” The Jounin half joked.
“Whatever.” Shizune rolled her eyes. “Oh, by the way,
Kakashi-san, report tomorrow to Tsunade-sama at 10am. I think she has something
to tell you.”
Kakashi nodded and handed Shizune the scrolls as he bade
her goodnight and made his way out of the tower not seeing the
undistinguishable look on Shizune’s face. As he began to jump from one roof to
another, Kakashi saw a blur of golden-blonde hair in the corner of his eye. He
stopped immediately and looked back to where he had seen it, however, it was no
longer anywhere in sight.
“Am I seeing things now?” Kakashi
said to himself and brushed it off as he continued his way back to his
apartment. “I must be worn out from the trip.”
Kakashi entered the safety of his apartment, securely
locking the doors and windows. He then went to his bedroom, dropped his bag on
the floor, went to sit at his bed and stared at one of the three pictures he
had of the blonde boy.
“If only I could turn back the hands of time, Naruto, I
will.” Kakashi thought as his thumb brushed over the smiling face
of Naruto in the picture.

I know, I know how lovely that word is… However, you do
know that there always has to be a cliffy right? (evil laughter)
Footnotes:
(1) Let’s just say that Iruka has a LOT
of stamina and he was hell bent on literally skinning those who dared defile
Naruto’s innocence. Lols. However, to think, that was a lot of running and
dodging starting from 10am till 4pm… (sweatdrops) Can you imagine, six hours of
non-stop action! (Evil laughter) No pun intended.. (winks)
(2) ANBU members at the training grounds?! What the heck!
(3) Iruka was one of the people who moved Naruto’s stuff
in his new home along with Shizune.
(4) Shizune’s appearance after Tsunade sent her home would
be explained in the next chapter…

Authoress’ Notes:
He-he-he, sorry if I some of them went a bit off character,
but don’t worry, I’ll fix it up later…
Yes! Kakashi has arrived! Stay tuned for the next chapter
coming soon…
By the way, updates may go a bit slow from this point
since I will be out of town for a few weeks or probably months because my
school requires it so… College life isn’t that great, especially if one is
about to graduate…(sigh!) But never fear! This fic will not go unfinished!
That is my way of the ninja! (Nyahahahaha!) Besides. I love you guys too much
to leave this unfinished… So please be a little patient with the updates…
And this story isn’t a comedy okay?! I only add those
funny lines and scene just because there is a need for it. You choose, end up
with puffy eyes the rest of the story from the next point onwards or holding
your aching sides once in a while because of how I made some of them do
something out of the blue? (More or less something stupid for their part…
He-he-he…)
Well literally speaking, the humorous parts helps to
lighten up the sad and brooding part of the story… Crystal clear? Good… If not, just send me a
note and I’ll explain it again thoroughly to you… (Wide smile plus sweatdrops)
- - - - - -
Blue: (starts to type madly, as if the author was in the
amazing race) I feel like my head is splitting in to two… Hey, why does it
suddenly seem like I have two monitors… Ne, Naru-chan, cut out that Kage
Bunshin thing and don’t go running around in my house, you’ll never know when
those two might pop-up again…
Naruto: (pops up beside Blue and starts
poking her) Hey Blue-chan! Why don’t you call it a night? You’ve been up and
about for nearly 15 hours straight… You’re starting to see things in two’s!
Blue: Can’t yet, need to start on Chapter 4 at least so
I won’t lose my train of thought… And stop poking me!
Naruto: (eyebrows twitching) Dattebayo!
Do that later! Go get some sleep!
Blue: Mou! Yada! (sound of incessant typing can still be
heard)
Naruto: (grabs Blue-chan by the collar
and drags her to her bed) You! Go to sleep! Or else you might make me do
something incredibly stupid in that… Blue-chan? (sweatdrops)
Blue: Zzz…(Z’s appeared on her head the moment she hit
the covers while clutching her favorite hug-pillow)
Naruto: Anyway, Read and Review
people! I’ll tell her to continue her work once she wakes up… Ja! Until
next time! (gets a blanket and covers the sleeping author then finds a place to
hide)
