Alright people so here is the first chapter of the rewrite of Konoha no Basket. I changed a couple of things in the story but the premise is still the same. Anyways let's get on with the chapter, hopefully you guys like it.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Kuroko no Basket
The sound of basketballs and squeaking shoes could be heard from even outside the door. Currently inside the Konoha Gakuen gym were the members of the basketball club. Everyone was either taking shots or running specific drills. Among them was a seventeen year old blonde haired boy.
He's 5'7 and is wearing a sleeveless navy blue shirt and black basketball shorts with a thin orange stripe running down the sides. He has black crew socks and is wearing black under armour curry 2's. This is Naruto Uzumaki, second year, the point guard and captain of the team, and wears the number four.
"Man, the school year is almost over and the winter cup is about to begin." He thinks to himself. Pushing the thought aside he gets to work. Dribbling the ball with his right hand he moves forward crossing the ball between his legs before doing a step back and shooting a three, three feet behind the three point line. The ball soars through the air before going through the hoop with a swish.
Moving to go get the ball he hears someone whistle.
"No matter how many times I've seen you do that it's still impressive." Says a black haired boy. He too is seventeen years old, has two bangs on either side of his face with the back of his head being spiked up. He stands at 5'8 and is wearing a grey short sleeve shirt with blue basketball shorts and a pair of matching Jordan 5s. This is Sasuke Uchiha the second year small forward of the team, and wears the number seven. He also happens to be one of Naruto's closest friends.
As he finishes the sentence he begins his drills which consist of a few jab steps before shooting, as well as some crossover jump stop shots.
"Thanks but I still feel my form a bit sloppy. I want to be able to release the ball faster in case someone can keep up with me." Naruto replies.
"In any case your shots have gotten a lot better since last year." Says a red haired boy from behind them. He had shoulder length red hair and purple eyes and stands at 5'9. Like Naruto he was wearing a sleeveless shirt, though his was black as well as his shorts. He sported red Jordan 7s. This is Naruto's cousin. Nagato Uzumaki, third year and plays power forward. He wears the number eight.
He joined them in the practice by running up to the key, doing a spin move on an imaginary opponent, then proceeded to do a pump fake before jumping and doing a simple one handed dunk.
"Watch out!" A voice yelled. Nagato moved out of the way as a ball almost him under the net. Everybody looks to where the ball was shot from and they saw another one of their team mates. He had short black spikey hair and wore a black short sleeve shirt and blue shorts. He wears white and grey Jordan 4s. A noticeable trait from this one would be the scar on part of his face due to an accident. This is Obito or Tobi as he prefers to be called. He's a second year and is the shooting guard of the team and wears the number six.
"Nice shot Tobi, you're starting to make most of your shots. Keep that up and you'll have an impressive field goal percentage." Naruto says. He hears running approaching quickly so he tosses his recently retrieved ball near the net and watches as the final member of the team caught it in midair before slamming it into the net violently.
The final and tallest member of the team standing at 6'3 is Kisame Hoshigaki. He has spiked up blue hair and small eyes. Unlike the rest of the team he's wearing a white wife beater (to show his muscles) and black shorts and black and white Nike Hyperdunks. He is a third year and center of the team wearing the number eight.
The team continues their practice for the next twenty minutes before the gym doors open and a man in a suit walks in.
The man has long black hair that reaches down to his back and it covers one eye. He's wearing a nice form fitting black suit with matching black shoes. At thirty four years old he still looks like he's twenty. This is the coach of the team Madara Uchiha.
"Everybody quiet down and gather around." He says
The team obeys and stops their shots and drills and gather around the man.
"As you know the Inter high has passed and we were not able to participate. The winter cup will begin this Monday coming up and is a weeklong. I'm glad to say that we will be able to participate." He says.
"How? We only have us five on the team. This is enough us to play scrimmage games with other schools but not enough to actually compete in a tournament." Points out Nagato.
"Don't worry about that I've already taken care of the matter." The coach assures. "Any other questions?"
Surprisingly the next one came from Kisame. "Actually yes. If the tournament is next week how will we be able to do our school work? I doubt they will just let us skip class to play."
"That has been taken care of as well. For the week you've been allowed temporary enrollment in a local school in Tokyo near the hotel we'll be staying at." He says glad they're asking good questions rather than stupid ones. "If that's all then feel free to head home. After you clean up of course. Meet in front of the school gates tomorrow at eight in the morning. Make sure to pack for a week and bring only the essentials. Oh and bring your school uniforms as well." He says before heading out the door.
The team starts putting the equipment in its respective places in silence until Tobi speaks up.
"So what school do you think we've been temporarily enrolled in?" He asks out loud.
"No idea, we'll have to wait until Monday or until coach decides to tell us. I'm more curious as to who he got to join the team to get us to play." Sasuke says
"I hope it's not Sai." Says Naruto "His smile creeps me out." He says drawing a laugh from the team.
"Well the equipment is put away. I'll see you guys tomorrow I'm gonna go get some food." Says Kisame as he leaves.
The rest of the team left soon after.
-Next Day-
Waking up early on a Saturday morning was not something the basketball team enjoyed doing. With difficulty they were all able to arrive at the school gates a few minutes before eight am. As they were waiting for the coach they noticed three people heading in their direction. They also happened to be carrying luggage just like them.
The first one was an average height boy. He has red spikey hair and is wearing black jeans with a red hoodie. He has greenish eyes with bags under them due to him having insomnia. He's seventeen years old and is a second year along with Naruto, Sasuke, and Tobi. His name is Gaara.
Next to him was another average height boy of seventeen years. He has short spikey white hair, tan skin and is constantly sucking on a lollipop. He's wearing blue jeans with a white jacket. He's an odd one. He's always thinking of worst case scenarios in anything he does. This is Omoi.
Finally was a brown haired boy. This one taller than the other two, perhaps around Sasuke's height. He has long brown hair tied into a low ponytail at the bottom and strangely enough has white eyes. He's wearing khaki pants along with a white zip up sweater. This is Neji Hyuga the only other third year besides Nagato and Kisame.
"What are you guys doing here?" Asks Naruto, though by what their carrying the answer should be obvious.
"We're the reserves for your team." Says Gaara in monotone.
"I didn't know you liked basketball." Says Kisame to Neji.
"I don't like it as much as you guys. Madara-Sensei saw the three of us playing in P.E and said we were good. He told us if we came as reserves we'd get extra credit, so it was a no brainer." Neji says.
"So is it just the three of you or is there more?" The question came from Nagato.
"Just us three. Unless coach Madara talked to others and we don't know about it." Replied Omoi.
"No you three are the only ones." Came the voice of their coach who had just arrived and was going to open the gates.
"I thought that a team needed twelve total members. Five starters and seven reserves." Said Sasuke.
"In the NBA yes, that is the case. However in college and high schools it's allowed to have a minimum of eight players. Which is what we have, that makes us eligible to play in the winter cup." He replies.
"Now then" the coach starts "The school has entrusted us with a van to get us to Tokyo, it's a three hour ride to our destination. If anyone needs to use the restroom now would be the time to do it." He says as he opens the doors to the gym.
Everyone uses the restroom as a precaution, even if it were just drops. Once they were all done the coach locked the doors and told everyone to put their luggage in the trunk of the car. After making sure everyone was accounted for they all got in the car.
The coach was the driver, Tobi was in the front passenger seat. Behind them was Kisame, Nagato, and Neji. In the final row in the back was Naruto, Sasuke, Omoi, and Gaara.
"Hey coach does this car have an Auxiliary cord?" Asks Tobi.
"Yes it does." He replies handing it to him.
Taking it upon himself to provide quality music Tobi connects his phone and turns the volume on the car stereo pretty high up. (Insert any song you like).
Nobody noticed Madara's hands tightening on the steering wheel. "This is what kids call music these days? I can't understand a single thing they're saying. This is going to be a long ride."
Three hours later they had finally arrived at the hotel. They all unloaded their belongings and headed inside. On the way Omoi decided to share what was on his mind.
"What if the hotel never confirmed our reservations? Then we're forced to drive back to school and along the way we get a flat tire and have no way of getting home." He vents
Kisame turns to the coach and asks "Why did you bring him along?"
"Because as annoying as his pessimistic ways are he has decent skills, and he's needed if you guys want to compete. Now be stay here and wait for me to call you. I'm going to go check us in."
After going through the proper procedures the team goes to the third floor to their rooms. They had gotten three rooms. Four in each and one for the coach.
"Put your stuff away and meet in my room. There's stuff you need to know." The coach commands.
"Now then, the eight of you will be attending Touou Gakuen for the next week. The school is a few blocks from here but it shouldn't be too difficult to find. Just follow those wearing the uniform.
You are to wear the standard Konoha uniform to let them know you're the temporary students. You will pick up your home room number in the morning on Monday. I trust you will be on your best behavior while there?" He 'asks' though everyone knew it was an order.
The team nods. "Good now get out of here, I'm tired."
They split up to their respective rooms. Naruto, Sasuke, Tobi, and Kisame in one room. Gaara, Neji, Omoi, and Nagato in the other.
"Yo I'm going to go see if I can find a park around here to shoot some hoops for a bit, you guys wanna come?" Asks Naruto having dressed into his practice clothes.
The team responded negative. They all had something they wanted to do or see in Tokyo before school started. Shrugging he left the hotel and walked around the city looking for a park.
After thirty minutes of searching he was beginning to get frustrated.
"Where the hell is there a park around here?" He asks a bit loudly to himself.
"There's one not too far from here." He hears someone say behind him. Turning around he sees a girl with long pink hair, a white shirt, a bow and a short skirt.
"Could you tell me where it is?" He asks finally having a lead.
"Just go down the street, make a left at the burger place and a right on the first major street and it'll be on your left." She says
Nodding he thanks her before leaving.
Following her directions he sees the park she was talking about. There was only one court but that wasn't a problem. There seemed to be someone playing on half of it though.
Taking a closer look he noticed a guy much taller than him with tan skin and dark blue has a white tank top and green pants. He seemed to have a bored facial expression as he shot the ball.
"Aomine Daiki. The former ace of that team" he thinks to himself. The memory of the humiliating loss still in his mind.
Walking up he uses the other half of the court and makes no indication that he even notices the other player. Taking a few shots he stops as he hears the guy talk to him.
"Hey, who are you? I've never seen you around here before." Naruto hears Aomine talk to him.
"Naruto Uzumaki. You could say I'm new around here." He replies before turning back around.
"How about a one-on-one? I'm bored and could use some entertainment. Not that I expect much from you but anything will do at this point." He says
Naruto stops his shot and turns around. "Alright then. Let's play." He says, Aomine's arrogance getting on his nerves. It's time someone took him down a peg or two.
"We'll play half court, first to three wins. Everything is one point unless behind the three point line in which case it's two." Naruto says. Aomine nods.
Naruto starts with the ball from half court. He walks forward dribbling the ball with his left hand. Aomine guarding him with the same bored facial expression.
"Let's get that look off of your face" Naruto thinks to himself.
He fakes to the right, passing the ball from his left hand to his right behind his back then crosses the ball between his legs and goes left. Aomine is still on him though his expression changed.
He takes two steps forward before doing a step back and shooting from in between the three point and free throw line. Aomine's eyes widen a bit as he wasn't expecting to be shaken off.
"Not bad." Aomine says, a smirk starting to appear. Looks like this one might be able to put up somewhat of a challenge.
Tossing the ball to Aomine he guards him as he starts dribbling toward him. Aomine slows down and lets his eyes look to the left before bouncing the ball in that direction.
"He's trying to get me to reach for it. I got something for you." Naruto's hand reaches out for the ball before he pulls back and moves to his left in one quick motion. At the moment he had faked reaching for the ball he had retrieved it and went to his right.
Only to find the blonde still in front of him, arms wide not letting him through. Aomine stops his move and bounces the ball behind his back to prevent it from being taken.
A frown was now present on his face. "He knew that was coming. He faked being tricked and moved in the way he knew I'd go."
"You had a good change of pace going there, but not good enough." Naruto taunts him.
Aomine tsks before crossing the ball through his legs a few times before sprinting down the right side of the court with Naruto still on him.
As he's approaching the end of the court he jumps in the air and twists his body to shoot with one hand from an awkward angle.
Naruto's hand was close but couldn't block it. The ball hit the back board before going into the basket.
Since it was behind the three point line it only counted as two points as per rules of these types of little games. The score now 2-1 in Aomine's favor.
Aomine is starting to feel excited, he's never had to resort to using his formless shots in pickup games like this. Usually the opponents don't put up a fight and he wins without trying.
"Dai-chan I'm ba…Hm?" says Momoi. She's watching her friend playing against the same guy she helped a few minutes ago. The weird part is the facial expression he has. It looks like he's starting to have some fun. Her eyes widen at the thought. It's been a long time since she's seen him enjoy himself.
Naruto has the ball once again and dribbles forward. He's noticed Aomine is taking it more seriously than last time. Naruto looks down and notices his legs are opened a bit wide, which gives him an idea.
Now it's Naruto's turn to smirk. He bounces a few times making sure to be crossing the ball between his own legs and takes one quick step forward to the left. As expected Aomine moved in that direction. As he's moving forward he uses his wrist to flick the ball between Aomine's legs and moves to the right.
In an instant he once again crosses to the left again and takes off. (If you can't picture it YouTube 'hot sauce ankle breaker. First 20 seconds of first video)
Not expecting what had just happened he fell backwards and saw the blonde take off to the basket and get the layup. 2-1
He's not the only one shocked. Momoi who had been watching the game go down since she returned couldn't believe what she had just seen. Someone had managed to drop Aomine and make it look easy.
Before the game could continue a phone went off. The blonde picked up and stayed on the line for a few seconds before hanging up.
"Looks like we'll have to do this some other time. I have to get going." He says. As he passes the pink haired girl he says "Oh it's you. Thanks for the directions."
Snapping out of her shock she looks over at her friend and sees that he's now on his feet. He also has a mad smile on his face as he watches the blonde retreat.
"Looks like Tetsu was right Satsuki. There is someone out here who can give me a challenge." He says
"Did you recognize him from anywhere Satsuki?" He asks curious to know where this guy was from.
"Never seen him before. I'm curious now too." She answers.
As they left the park having nothing more to do one thing was on Aomine's mind. Find this new guy again and play all out.
Alright so I'll end the first chapter here. Now some changes that have been made are, rather than having it just be game after game I decided I'd put them still in school to be able to show some more interaction between players.
