----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Begin!"
Naruto and Sasuke launched themselves at each other. Sasuke threw a left punch aimed for Naruto's head. Naruto dodged
underneath it and rushed his right shoulder into Sasuke's chest knocking him back and he followed up by punching Sasuke in his
stomach. This forced Sasuke to fall down, as he was falling back he swung his foot straight up to nick the side of Naruto's head from
the jaw up.
Shaking the hit off he waited for Sasuke to stand up again. "Nice move Sasuke. I wasn't expecting that kick."
Sasuke was more irritated now that his attack wasn't successful. Sasuke smiled then ran an attacked Naruto by trying to drop kick
Naruto in his chest. Again Naruto dove under Sasuke and sent his hands up grabbing Sasuke's shoulders and continued to bring him
down slamming his head onto the concrete.
Sasuke felt his skull hit the ground with such force and felt blood come from his head. In a swift movement Naruto flipped himself
over Sasuke grabbed the ankles of Sasuke's legs and tossed him across the training ground. Sasuke while in the air flipped himself
and landed on his feet skidding across the ground seven feet.
He waited again till Sasuke ran at him again. Sasuke sent punch after punch after him over and over. Naruto kept blocking each
punch thrown at him. Sasuke's took a step forward and brought his fist back and was prepared to hit him but then felt a sharp pain
in his right knee. He hadn't seen Naruto kick Sasuke right on target crippling him, the amount of pain was to much and he could
barely stand up. Naruto saw this as an opportunity and leg swiped Sasuke using his left leg, he brought the same leg straight up
and brought it straight down on Sasuke's chest knocking the wind out of him.
Sasuke coughed up some blood, took deep breaths and was on his hands and knees still trying to catch his breath, 'How can I be
getting beaten so badly I only grazed him and he's knocking me around. This can't be happening!' Sasuke was filled with hate at the
thought of an Uchiha being beaten this badly by an urchin. Sasuke looked at Naruto who seemed to stare back without a care in the
world.
Sasuke in a fit of rage he launched himself at Naruto and he threw a left hook aimed at Naruto's head, Naruto was there to block
but then felt pain in his side. At the last minute he saw Sasuke fake that punch only to be kicked on his left side stunning him for a
moment. After kicking him Sasuke followed through with an uppercut to the stunned Naruto's face. Sasuke dropped down bringing
himself down to Naruto's waist and speared Naruto to the ground hoping to end the fight the same way Naruto did to him in their
first fight... Except.
Naruto felt him grab his waist trying to force him down. Naruto wrapped his legs around Sasuke's waist before hitting the ground.
Once they did hit the ground Naruto wrapped his right arm around Sasuke's head in a headlock, with his right forearm on Sasuke's
throat. Strangling him, Sasuke was trying desperately to escape by hitting Naruto in his ribs and his head forcing small trickles of
blood to come out of Naruto's nose and barely busting his lower lip. Naruto was ignoring the small pain and continued choking him.
Sasuke was beginning to lose consciousness, every time he tried to pull himself free Naruto's grip tightened.
Naruto talked loud enough for Sasuke to hear, "I call this move the 'Guillotine'. Sasuke listen to me the more you move the more
pressure I'm going to put on you. Please tap, I don't want to do this."
Sasuke chose to ignore Naruto thinking there was a way to escape, but that thought was fading, just like he was. Before blacking
out he heard him say something else, "There is no shame in submitting Sasuke." At that moment Sasuke tried even harder to break
the grip but found it useless and was really only tiring his self out even more, he was quickly blacking out from lack of oxygen.
Naruto felt Sasuke go limp in his arms and he immediately knew that Sasuke passed out. Naruto let go and left Sasuke laying there
passed out.
Iruka called the match and quickly ran to Sasuke to check on him and told everyone that he only passed out and that he would be
okay. Naruto heard the students bad mouth him and call him names over and over, but he learned to ignore them and was more
focused on the unconcious Sasuke. Naruto decided to add his two cents and spoke knowing Sasuke couldn't hear him.
"Sasuke. I don't know what kind of life you have, and I don't know why you hate me so much. So I can only think that after this
fight there is no way we can be friends. From this moment on Sasuke, you are my enemy just like how all Uchiha are the enemy to
the Hyuga." Naruto stood up slowly and walked away to where Hinata and the others were waiting.
Hinata gave Naruto a hug and gave him a kiss on his cheek, "You did it Naruto-kun. I'm so happy." Ino was stunned at how Naruto
refused to bad mouth the students. Turning to her friend she asked, "Hey Sakura." Sakura looked at Ino, "Has Sasuke really ever
talked to any of us?"
Sakura looked confused and shook her head, "No. But that's why me, you and all the other girls are fighting for his attention, so
that he would talk to us." Ino had a hard time believing that she could like him after everything he does to ignore them and consider
himself above everyone in the school. Looking at Naruto at how happy he is surrounded by the ones who appreciate him, she began
to think, 'Maybe I should get to know Naruto-kun a little more instead of trying to get attention from a lost cause.' She smiled
inwardly.
Shikamaru walked over, "Well your number one again how troublesome. Being in the rank I'm in I won't have to worry about
fighting you, Sasuke, Shino, or Kiba."
Kiba happily yelled out, "You better watch out Naruto I will be coming for that rank soon enough!"
Shino told Naruto, "Be prepared I want to fight you the most out of everyone here."
Ino walked over to him and smiled, "You were awesome out there Naruto."
Naruto blushed at all the praises he was getting from his friends. Then he heard an all to familiar voice, "THAT WAS A GOOD FIGHT
KIT." He smiled and answered (in thought), 'Thank you Kyuubi-sempai.'
"FORGET ALL THE NAMES THESE WORTHLESS STUDENTS ARE CALLING YOU. I'M GLAD THAT YOU TOOK DOWN THE UCHIHA BRAT
AGAIN." Kyuubi was smiled wide.
'Yea, I just hoped that we could have become friends...' Upon hearing Naruto say this he interrupted, "DON'T LET YOU GUARD
DOWN AROUND ANY UCHIHA. NO MATTER WHO HE OR SHE IS." Naruto thought, 'Why?'
Kyuubi sighed, "I'LL TELL YOU ANOTHER DAY. FOR NOW CELEBRATE YOUR VICTORY WITH YOUR TRUE FRIENDS." Cutting their
conversation with each other Naruto was happy thinking about what he just said about true friends. The ones around him that cared
deeply.
Mizuki had walked over to where Iruka and Sasuke were and the two began to talk about the ending of the fight. Mizuki kneeled
down next to Sasuke and picked him up.
Mizuki had Sasuke on his back and was going to take him away to the nurse to get looked at since he lost some blood from Naruto
slamming him on the ground. He turned and he looked at Iruka, "It seems Sasuke's pride got to him again."
Iruka spoke, "Yeah I know. That seems to be the Uchiha curse, sadly there is nothing we can do about that. When he wants to he
will change. Hopefully for the better." Mizuki nodded turned and walked back to the school to see the school nurse hoping that he
didn't get any brain damage from the fight.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Yes it seems your mark on this him is right on target, Itachi-kun. I must say seeing an Uchiha getting beaten is a lot different then
hearing about it."
Itachi was wearing the traditional black uchiha outfit. He turned to look at the women standing next to him, "Well Aoi-hime, you live
with him and yet you don't watch any of his training?"
The women wore traditional white Hyuga robes with a lavender sash across her waist (Think Neji's outfit in shippuden) and had dark
brown hair. "Just because I live within the clan doesn't mean I can just sit there and watch the younger kids fight in the Hyuga dojo.
I have guard duties and of course missions for the kage. Why are you interested in him in the first place? Don't you want to train
one of the other Uchiha kids here at the academy or even your little brother?"
Itachi frowned and looked back at Naruto and said, "Training any of the Uchiha kids is the same no matter how much you change
the training sessions. It's simple, you copy something they copy it back and then they are considered strong. Even without the
Sharingan training them is still the same. I have had enough of it. That's when I found out about Naruto and thought greatly about
it. He's different then any other kid in this village. Training him will actually be worth my time and effort and could even be fun."
Aoi walked behind him and put her hands on his shoulders and said, "This isn't like you Itachi. Showing such interest in someone
especially in situations like this."
Itachi smirked turned around and grabbed her waist and pulled her close. Using a sensual tone he said, "I show greater interest in
you and you don't seem to complain lover." His face only continued to get closer to hers. He stopped and stared into her lavender
eyes while she stared into his black eyes.
Their lips were almost touching each others at this point and stopped when she spoke, "I hate it when you do this to me and when
you talk to me in that kind of tone."
"Why?"
"Let's put that to the test then shall we. Let's go to one of those hotels at the edge of the village so no one can here you scream."
Bringing his lips on hers. She was lost in complete bliss unaware that behind her back he formed a hand sign for the shunshin
technique.
The two figures disappeared in the swirl of leaves and no one at the school knew they were there.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* A cave somewhere *
Nine holographic like figures were inside a damp cave with only their eyes clearly visible.
"We are to continue with what was set two years ago Kisame."
"Kukukuku, It seems the Yondaime hokage's son is becoming quite famous, he's being called 'The Prodigy'." Orochimaru smirked.
The only female spoke out, "That boy has nothing to do with our organization's plans snake."
A man with a orange mask with swirl on the right eye spoke out, "Oh, Konan-sama is hiding something. I wanna know, I wanna
know." This one was obviously childish.
A man with a venus fly trap around his body with his main body being different colors with the left side being white and the right
side black. The black half spoke, "Tobi sure is acting childish today."
Tobi at that moment slumped down, then the white half spoke, "Don't be mean to Tobi, Zet."
Kisame looked to his left and spoke out again, "Your being awfully quiet over there Madara-sama."
A short man with a deep voice spoke out, "Madara-san will speak when he feels it necessary."
The man with long black hair spoke up, "Sasori-san you don't need to worry about me. As for the rest of you the Namikaze boy is of
no concern to us. Pain will handle that situation himself. Kakuzu you are a different matter, your one of the reasons this meeting was
called today."
A tall man with turquoise eyes and red surrounding them looked up, "You need to stop killing our members. You've killed three this
past year with Kidamaru being the third, good S-Class criminals are hard to come by."
Kakuzu plainly said, "Those fools had no desire to obtain money, since that's what my position is in this organization, they were no
longer needed. Above all they pissed me off, I can't control my anger when I am pissed off."
Orochimaru said, "Kukukuku, Let's finish this little meeting, I have experiments that need tending to."
Pain nodded his head, "Very well, Orochimaru and Sasori will be paired with each other, Tobi and Kisame will be teamed up this
time, Zetsu will be off on his own as usual, as will Madara. Finally Kakuzu will work alone until I can find him a replacement partner.
Everyone agrees as to who their partner is?"
Everyone nodded, "Good. Konan and myself will continue operations in Amekagure, Madara will continue his guise as Yondaime
Mizukage, Kakuzu will obtain funds for our organization, and Orochimaru, Sasori, Tobi, and Kisame will gather information on the
remaining eight biju. Zetsu you will be the messenger and will send the information that those four find and bring it back to me."
Each member agreed and each of the members images began to disappear, leaving only Konan and Nagato behind.
Konan turned to him, "Pain, we need to handle Orochimaru, he could be a problem if he intends to try and break off from us. On top
of that we need a team mate for Kakuzu as a tenth member."
Nagato sighed and replied, "Orochimaru can't do anything on his own. I will handle him should the situation arise. And as long as
the Sandaime and Jiraiya are near Naruto he won't try anything."
Nagato shrugged, "Madara is no problem, he believes he has me dancing in the palm of his hands. My goals are my own and I will
deal with Madara when the time comes. Right now let's just find our new member. If Orochimaru tries to take issues in his own
hands then two members."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"A lot of things have happened since we meet Shikamaru and the others at the park that day." Hinata said.
Naruto nodded.
"We don't really get any time to really hang out like we used to." She said.
Naruto spoke up, "That's gonna change, the day we graduate the academy I will be strong enough so that no one would want to
challenge me and we will have all of the time to hang out with each other."
Hinata only giggled and replied, "Naruto-kun you know you can't have a life as easy as that. But Naruto-kun you never talk about
what you really want to do when you get older. What are your dreams? Do you want your own clan, become a well known Jounin,
and ANBU captain or how about Hokage?"
Naruto gulped and said, "N-n-n-never r-r-really thought about it." He said with a stutter.
Hinata stared at him and had a sly smile, "Naruto-kun knows something he's not telling me." She turned around and he began to
tickle him.
Naruto laughed trying to stop her until for what seem like forever, but it was only a minute she stopped, "Oi, Hinata-chan there's
only one thing I only want."
Naruto looked at her blushing some, "I don't know about having my own clan, I will become a well know Jounin through my hard
work, being in ANBU wouldn't be all that fun, and I don't want to be kage. The thing I want is to spend my life with Hinata-chan."
Hinata stared at him and was calm and happy but deep down she was jumping off the walls happy. She pecked him on his cheek
with kiss and said.
"I like that dream Naruto-kun." Naruto smiled and laid down to sleep. Hinata watched him fall asleep and she laid on his stomach
and fell asleep too. Naruto was sent to his mind scape to talk with his friend while Hinata felt like she was being pulled into a place
she was not familiar with.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hinata seemed to wake up surrounded by water. She took a quick look around and she saw prison cells with numbers above each
one. She began to panic when she heard a deep voice.
"THIS WAY GIRL..." Hinata turned around to hear the voice but saw nothing. Looking down she saw a thin red chakra wire going in
one direction. She followed it for some time until she came to a giant room with a huge cage in the room.
Hinata stared wide eyed at the cell until she felt a hand on her shoulder. She let out a screech, turned around only to see Naruto.
"Hinata-chan how did you get here!?!" Naruto couldn't believe she was in his mind.
"I'm not sure Naruto-kun, I just woke up and I'm here. Where is here exactly?" Naruto paused for a minute and was about to
answer when they heard.
"I BROUGHT HER HERE." At the deep voice Hinata ran and hid behind Naruto and saw a giant fox starring at them.
"Why would you do that Kyubi-sempai?" Naruto asked setting his hand on Hinatas'
"I WAS CURIOUS... I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE ONE WHO CAN RESTRAIN MY CHAKRA." Kyubi said.
Hinata began to stutter, "I-I-I-I don't k-k-k-know what y-y-you mean." Kyubi laughed a little.
"SO WHAT YOU DID IN THE FOREST WHEN YOU WERE IN THE FOREST WAS NOTHING?" He said chuckling a little.
Naruto spoke to her, "Hinata-chan you don't have to be scared of him, he's a really cool gu- I mean fox. He's a friend." Hinata
looked at the fox stood away from Naruto bowed to Kyubi.
"N-nice to m-meet you Kyubi-san. My name i-is Hinata Hyuga." Kyubi chuckled again.
"OH I LIKE HER, SHE IS JUST LIKE YOU KIT SHE HAS GOOD MANNERS AS WELL." Naruto blushed and rubbed the back of his head.
"TELL ME GIRL DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT MICHI HYUGA?" Hinata shook her head.
"I SEE, BECASE IN MY LIFETIME BEFORE I WAS SEALED, SHE WAS ABLE TO DO THE SAME THING YOU DID TO NARUTO. SHE
COULD CALM MY CHAKRA BY TOUCH OR BY SINGING A SONG."
Naruto added to this, "Wasn't there a saying about 'Music soothes the savage beast?'" Kyubi nodded slightly not really wanting to
agree.
Kyubi replied, "MAYBE YOU HAVE HERE ABILITY TO CALM BEASTS LIKE MYSELF. SINCE THAT IS THE CASE ALL I ASK IS THAT IF I
LOSE CONTROL TO MY ANGER, MY CHAKRA SPILLS OUT AND IT WILL AFFECT NAURTO. HIS BODY WON'T BE USED TO THE SURGE
OF ENERGY AND IT WILL HURT HIM."
He stared at Naruto who only looked confused, "SHOULD THAT HAPPEN HE WILL ALSO LOSE CONTROL ALSO, HE WON'T BE ABLE
TO TELL WHO IS FRIEND OR FOE HE WILL DESTROY AND KILL EVERY LIVING THING IN THE AREA. SO ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS
THE SAME THING YOU DID IN THE FOREST TO CALM HIM DOWN AND MYSELF."
She took this moment to grab Naruto's hand and nodded, "Without a second thought would I hesitate to save him."
Kyubi added. "I WANT YOU TO PROMISE ME THAT YOU WILL." She walked up closer than Naruto's been to the cage and said, "I'll do
better. I swear on my life, my ninja way, as well as my position as heiress that I will save booth of you from that fate." Hinata's
voice was serious and her eyes were starring at the demon as if looking into his soul.
Naruto and Kyubi were wide eyed that she showed no fear starring him down. Then Kyubi laughed as loud as he could. Naruto and
Hinata had to cover their ears.
"I REALLY LIKE YOU GIRL, I HAVE NO WORRIES ANYMORE. THE BOY IS IN SAFE HANDS."
He was about to turn to fall asleep when he said, "BY THE WAY, NARUTO, HINATA." Both looked at him. "YOU SEE THAT CELL OVER
THERE THE ONE WITH THE NUMBER ONE ABOVE IT." They turned around and nodded,
"NARUTO YOU MUST NEVER GO NEAR THAT CELL UNTIL I FEEL YOU ARE READY. HINATA IF YOUR EVER IN HERE, WILL YOU MAKE
SURE NOT TO GO NEAR IT OR ALLOW HIM TO GO NEAR IT. UNDERSTOOD!"
Both jumped back and both said, "Hai..." Kyubi nodded and told them, "GOOD NOW YOU BOTH CAN DO WHAT EVER IN HERE UNTIL
YOU WAKE UP. GOODNIGHT." He turned and fell asleep.
Hinata grabbed Naruto's hand and said, "Let's got through your mind some." Naruto protested, "No, you just want to see where my
hopes and dreams are don't you?"
Hinata made a sly grin and began to run off, Naruto yelled, "Wait Hinata-chan please don't go poking around in my head." They both
ran past the cell one door not wanting to make eye contact with it they ran down until they turned away from Kyubi's hall.
The figure from the cell one was again shown in silhouette form. But you could distinctly make out a smile.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naruto and Hinata woke up from his mind. Hinata got to see things that Naruto seen from when they were young or when she
wasn't around. Naruto felt he was taken advantage of. Neither of them told anyone what happened that night.
Kiba also got something that when they were all nine years old he got his dog partner Akamaru who had cream colored fur with
black spots on his ears. Shino got his bugs from his father, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio learned their families abilities with Ino also
studying to become a interrogator like her father, and Sakura learned a few genjutsus from her father who was a genjutsu specialist
and some medical jutsu from her mother who was a nurse at Konoha's hospital. Sasuke never got over his defeat against Naruto as
well as being considered second best among the ninja and students who liked Naruto, this only fueled his hatred for him even more.
Over the years at the academy The Rookie Nine became stronger, faster, smarter, and better. The four years were over, they would
soon take their tests' to officially make them ninjas. The year before Neji graduated and was put on a squad, his teammates being
Rock Lee, Ten-Ten, and their sensei Gai Maito. Neji was announced 'Rookie of the Year' before graduating from the academy.
Naruto training was harsh being trained in secret by Kyuubi in trying to better control his chakra to a higher degree, trained by both
Jiraiya (ninjutsu) and Hiashi (taijutsu), and he started his own training sessions with Lee and Gai and he refused to wear the green
jumpsuit. He was slowly becoming a taijutsu master, but this didn't stop him from learning ninjutsu and dispelling genjutsu since he
can't do any kind of genjutsu.
Hinata's Jyuuken style was flawless and dangerous even to Naruto and Neji if she hit all the right spots. Hinata also learned some
medical jutsu from her mother and Shizune.
Ino took the stage at trying for Naruto's attention after he defeated Sasuke, Hinata saw this as a threat and the two would fight
constantly for his attention. Ino and Hinata saw each other as rivals for Naruto's love and rivals in combat. The two were considered
the strongest amongst the girls in the school.
Hanabi was seven years old now and was inspired to become strong like her sister. She got to train along with her sister, Naruto,
and Neji which she was finally looking forward to and couldn't wait for the chance to join the academy and become as strong as her
sister, as brave like Naruto, and as skilled as Neji.
The time was coming ever closer for the Rookie Nine to drop being students to becoming ninjas.
