Chapter 2
Anko watched her new student sleeping peacefully. She couldn’t
understand the feeling but it was cute to watch him sleep like that. With his
stupid hat and light blue pajamas, he looked like an angel with a giant demon
fox inside his stomach. Anko sighed and looked at him. She then proceeded to
kick the bed and send Naruto and the bed flying across the room.
“GGGGGGGGGOOD morning Konoha’s future ninja.” she said happily. Naruto
glared at the woman, then at his clock, then at the woman again.
“It’s four thirty in the morning. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG YOU? I WAS
SLEEPING DAMN IT!”
“The early bird catches the worm. Now you got thirty minutes to get
dressed. We have a lot to do today.” Naruto just grumbled about psychos.
“So tell me about what you know?” Anko asked Naruto.
The two were outside the gates near area 44. Naruto was still sleepy but he
looked up to look at Anko.
“Well . . . I know the henge no jutsu and kawarimi no jutsu. My taijutsu
is second to none and I’m master of the oiroke no jutsu, my own creation.” Naruto
boasted. Anko had heard about his ninja centerfold technique. It was one of the
reasons he was able to escape the mass number of chunins that chased when they
had him cornered.
‘Men. How they fall for that is beyond me.’ “So in short, you
suck.” she said. Naruto got angry.
“Hey!”
“I’m just giving you facts kid. You mentioned only two of the academy’s
skills which aren’t really necessary for the genin exam. Your ‘taijuutsu’ is
lame and your oiroke no jutsu only works on perverts.”
“What the . . . ? You’ve been stalking me?” he asked
“More like observing. After our talk in the hospital, I figured that
maybe you deserved a break and I would help you prepared for the genin exam. Think
of it as thanking you for attempting to help me.”
“Wow. Well, thanks . . . I guess.”
“No need to thank me.” ‘Payback time. I’ll make you suffer like
you’ve never suffered before.’ “Heh, Heh, Heh.” she chuckled. Naruto didn’t
like the laugh.
“Well let’s get started.” She flung a kunai right to Naruto’s feet. “First
exercise: charka control.”
“Charka control?”
“I bet the problem that you’re having with the bunshin is that you use
too much charka.” ‘Not to mention that you have a demon inside you.’ “So
I going to show you a low chunin charka exercise to help you get better
control. That’s what the kunai is for. I want you to climb that tree without
using your hands.”
“How do I do that?” Anko focused some of her charka into her feet and
calmly walked up the side of the tree without falling off. She turned and
looked down at Naruto.
“See? Now get to it.” Anko ordered
Anko had to admit that the boy had some amazing
stamina. It had been three hours and the boy was still going at it without
showing any signs of fatigue or charka depletion. If mastered, his progress as
a ninja would soar. Though impressed, she did find it funny how he kept falling
after a few steps. It seemed that his main problem was focus. He wasn’t any
higher than five feet from the ground. Sure, he may have inched his way up a
few meters but it was going to be a long way to the top. After falling down for
the twentith time, Anko stood up.
“All right, that’s enough.” she said
“Why? I haven’t got my second wind yet.” Naruto said
“You may have the stamina but it not as funny any more, watching you
fall on your ass.” Anko said with a smirk
“Shut up lady.”
“All right next exercise: target practice.” She pulled out a straw dummy
and placed it on a stick. She then handed Naruto fifteen shurikens. “Ok the
point of this exercise is to hit each target on this dummy here. For every
shuriken off the target is twenty pushups.”
“What?”
“Oh and you’ll be timed. You now have five seconds left.”Anko said in a
singsong voice. Naruto
cursed whatever Kami he offended.
Naruto dragged himself to his apartment. It was five
o’clock and he was dead tried. That lady was crazy Naruto thought. After doing
what seemed to be a thousand pushups, she decided to test his reflexes by
throwing real kunai. Then there was taijutsu practice in which he stood still
and took a beating like nothing else.
‘Toughen me up she says. Probably still mad that I ate her damn
dumplings.’ he thought. He crawled to his bed and fell asleep. He feared to
what tomorrow brought.
Two weeks into Anko’s personal training made Naruto
paranoid and sore. Anko decided that he needed to strengthen his senses so she
decided that she would sneak attack him. It didn’t matter where it was or when
it was, the crazy woman would charge him with two kunais in her hands. Naruto
was still having trouble with the tree climbing exercise but he was a bit
higher now. His aim was improving as was his resistance to pain. Anko was also
impressed with his improvement. His bunshin was getting better in which it
didn’t look pathetic. She decided that maybe it was time to teach him some
thing else. She watched as Naruto did his pushups.
“Hey gaki, come over here.” she ordered. Naruto stood up and walked
over.
“What do you want now oneesan?” he said. She was about to yell at him
but what he called her surprised even her.
“What did you call me?”
“What? All I said was oneesan.”
“Why are you calling me that?”
“Well because you’re annoying like a shisutaa.” he said. Whatever fuzzy
feelings she had been dashed away with that wisecrack.
“Annoying are I?” she growled. Naruto gulped
Sarutobi watched through his crystal ball with a smile
on his face. He was also surprised by Naruto’s words. He also noticed Anko’s
shock. Though Naruto’s answer to her question to her question was rude, he saw
that it did have a positive affect on Anko. It almost looked like she was
happy. Currently Naruto was running for his life as Anko chased him.
‘She going a bit overboard by summoning Kyodaijya.’
A month and a half passed and Anko was perched on a rock eating a bowl
of ramen. Her otouto, though she never voiced it, was currently clawing his way
toward the rock. What delayed him was a giant boulder that was tied to his
waist.
“You know, this isn’t half bad. Hey, you think that ramen chef could
make one with red bean soup and dumplings?” she asked. All she got was a growl.
She smirked at him as she finished off the ramen. Naruto just cried at the lost
of his ramen. “Oh, stop ya blubbering.”
“Hey why are you teaching me any techniques’ oneesan? All you’ve done is
torture me with your so-called training.”
“The deal was that I would train you for the exam. There was nothing
about techniques mention.”
“I bet you don’t know any.” Naruto whined
“Nice try kid but that’s not going to work.” Anko said
“I bet that’s why you’re still just Tokubetsu Jounin.”
“All right that’s enough.”
“Your sensei must be really weak . . . ” Anko was on him in a flash and
held him by his shirt. She glared at him with murder in her eyes.
“Listen you little shit, I’ll have you know that I was trained by none
other than Orochim . . . ” she stopped herself and dropped Naruto to the
ground. “Today’s training is done.” and she poofed away. Naruto looked ashamed
and left to go find her.
Anko sat down in deep thought. She didn’t mean to get
angry at him but when it came to Orochimaru she would get angry and it wasn’t
that she misses him. She loathes that man with every fiber in her but she
couldn’t help but feel hurt by being abandon by him. She felt Naruto’s presence
and sighed.
“What do you want?” she said coldly
“Um . . . I wanted to apologize so I had the old man make you this.” he
held out a bowl with red bean soup and dumplings. She looked at it and took the
bowl and began to eat. The two stayed quiet for a while. “Hey oneesan, who was
your teacher?”
“He . . . he’s a traitor. He abandon Konoha years back. He taught some
things.”
“You sound like you miss him.”
“I hate him.”
“Why?”
“Look I really don’t what to talk about it, ok.” Naruto looked hurt but
he quickly covered it up. He then gave Anko a grin. “What are you grinning
about?”
“I’ll make you a promise.”
“What promise?”
“If I ever run into this guy that hurt you, then as my brotherly duty,
I’ll give him a punch in the face for hurting you because you’re my oneesan.” Naruto
said. Anko looked at the grinning Naruto. She felt much better when he said
that. She was really glad that he cared.
“I doubt you’ll keep that promise without the technique I’m going to
show you.”
“No I could... wait did you say technique?”
“He taught it to me so I might as well teach it to my otouto.”
“Did you just call me your otouto?”
“What?” ‘Damn it did I say that out loud?’ “What the hell are you
talking about?”
“You did, you did call me your otouto?”
“That ramen must be affecting your brain.”
“ONEESAN!” Naruto shouted and hugged Anko.
“H-H-H-Hey! Get off me, you little rat.” Anko shouted. Anko tried to pry
the happy blond off her. In
the Hokage’s office, Sarutobi just laughed.
Iruka stood outside and greeted the students. He was
wondering if Naruto was going to be back this year. He harbored some resentment
toward the boy not full out hate. The Kyubi did kill his parents and for a time
he did hate Naruto but it lessen over time. He began to wonder where the blond
when he saw something running at him at an incredible speed. The dust cloud got
closer and closer until it exploded onto the school yard. When the dust
cleared, Iruka saw a boy with blue baggy pants that was tied at the shin, a
long sleeve blue shirt with a spiral on the front that was covered by a trench
coat and a pair of goggles. Though the clothing was different, the wild blond
hair, deep blue eyes, whisker marks and goofy grin stayed the same.
“Naruto?” Iruka asked
“Hey Iruka-sensei, I’m not late, am I?”
Authors’ Notes:
Ok I’ve taken your advice but I’m still thinking about it. There still will be
no one getting together in this story but if it goes well and I make a sequel,
then there may be some people getting together. So far I have these pairings:
Lee x Tenten
Neji x OC
Shikamaru x Temari(hope I spelled it right)
Ino x Chouji x Sai(subject to change)
Gaara x OC
Sakura x Kakashi(subject to change)
Naruto x Hinata(subject to change)
Konohamaru x Hanabi(spelling)
That’s all I have so far. I have some others but I have to work them
out. Till next time.
