Hey there, guys and gals!
I'm very sorry for this but Forgotten Winds is in temporary hiatus
But don't worry, I'll get it up and running in no time!
So in spite of that here's an update for HiFuMi, enjoy (or suffer, in other people's case)
HIFUMI
Naruto was bored…
He left the classroom really really bored,
And whenever Naruto was bored he did one thing:
TRAIN!
He made 4 clones and made them start reviewing the different jutsu that he knows, while he started to run laps around the training grounds for an indefinite amount of was followed by push-ups, sit-ups, and taijutsu katas. This was then reapeated, only this time, on top of the lake
Naruto stopped at 3 repetitionsof his whole routine and popped the clones one by one.
he sorted through the clones' memories and, with the Fujin's help, categorized the important (read high-damage dealing) ones in his mind.
This took up lot's of time and by the time they were finished, the moon was already in the orange-purple sky.
"Tadaima"
The muttered greeting rang through Naruto's apartment.
"Okaerinasai"
The unexpected answer came from his kitchen, startled, Naruto crept slowly beside the kitchen entrance, kunai in hand.
He can hear the movements made by the tresspasser. He predicts the path of the tresspasser and finds out that whoever is in his kitchen is walking nearer to his position.
The kunai is gripped firmly. Gathering his nerve, he waits for the right moment to strike.
Step,step,step
"just 2 more steps" Fujin excitedly supplies.
Step,step-
"NOW!" the Hifumi collectively shouts.
Naruto spins to face the tresspasser and plunges the kunai forward.
The definitive sound of metal hitting metal was heard.
Naruto flinches in surprise.
Standing by the kitchen entrance was a tall man with silver, spiky, gravity-defying hair wearing jounin garb. He had his hitai-aite slanted over his right eye, where you can see the edges of a scar poking under it. the only thing out of place is the white frilly apron he was wearing with the words "Grill Sergeant" in big, red letters
"Now is that any way to treat a guest?, your own father nonetheless?"
"Kaka-tousan, your back!" Naruto exclaims before hugging his father. "I thought you were going to come back tomorrow?" the teen asks
"the mission to Suna ended earlier than expected" Kakashi patted his son's head. "you graduate yet?" Kakashi asked.
Naruto can almost see the words hovering over Kakashi's head.
"You better say yes or else…"
Naruto grinned and pulled out the headband from his shuriken pouch.
"does this answer your question?" Naruto replied with a cheeky grin on his face.
Kakashi heads back into the kitchen while Naruto follows. Kakashi turns off the flame under a big pot all the while grilling (no pun intended) Naruto for info.
"why don't you wear it, you earned it didn't you?"
"C'mon tou-san, you know that I know that there is still the teamwork test, right?"
"hmmm…"
Satisfied with the answer, Kakashi opens the pot showing Naruto the contents.
Naruto looks in the pot and adopts a gluttonous expression.
"RAMEN!"
A spark of mischeviousness appeared in Naruto's eyes, he looked Kakashi in the eyes and sent a message.
"
Naruto faded like a ghost and suddenly became solid again holding a bowl and chopsticks.
Kakashi, with years of practice, expertly threw the perfect portions of noodles, broth and toppings into the air landing in the bowl, filled to the brim but not a drop spilled.
Naruto appeared sitting in front of the table with the full bowl on it. Kakashi blurred in a second later, his apron discarded and holding a bowl of ramen for himself.
The mood lightened and with a bow of their heads, simultaneously said:
"Itadakimasu"
They ate in silence for a while, reveling in the great taste that Kakashi's Ramen has.
The silence was broken when Kakashi asked Naruto:
"Do you know who your sensei will be?"
"Not yet, we'll be informed after one week"
Kakashi raised an eyebrow and said
"I want you to guess who your teammates will be."
Naruto was puzzled and asked
"Aren't I the dead-last automatically?"
Kakashi smirked and, with a prideful voice, said
"Nope, the usual teams got shot to hell when you came up"
Naruto grinned broadly and replied
"It's in my blood to wreck plans before they're even made"
Kakashi chuckled a bit.
"You still haven't answered my question"
Naruto thought for a few moments and answered
"I'm an Assault/Tank/Demolition type with a side of Illusion so I'm guessing a Tracker and a Medic, two other Assaults, Illusion type and an Assault, two Assasins, Tracker and an Interoggator or even two Medics, my best bet would be the first pair or the last"
"Hmm…" Kakashi mulled over his son's answer and continued asking questions.
"If I were to be a sensei, who would my students be?"
Naruto finished off his third bowl before answering
"The Uchiha hotties, no question, with either the Hyuuga hottie, the Inuzuka runt or me"
Kakashi raised his visible eyebrow
"hotties?"
"I blame and thank you for exposing me to Icha-icha"
They both bowed their heads and, even the Hifumi, said:
"For it is the greatest book ever conceived, amen"
Kakashi looked at the clock and saw that it was almost 9 in the evening.
"well, expect Gai to bust down your door sooner or later, I'm going back to HQ to report the mission a success"
Naruto laughed out loud with that statement.
HiFuMi
Naruto bewilderedly shot out of bed when he heard the door to his room fly of its frame and hit the opposite wall.
"SOCHI! I CONGRATULATE YOUR FLAMES OF YOUTH IN FINALLY ACHIEVING YOUR FOREHEAD PROTECTOR, I WILL NOW CLIMB THE HOKAGE MOUNTAIN USING ONLY MY INDEX AND MIDDLE FINGERS TO CELEBRATE THIS MOMENTOUS EVENT!"
Naruto groaned and checked his alarm clock.
"Gai-tou, It's half past 3 and you just came back from a mission in Hoshi no kuni which is almost 1,300 kilometres away from the village gates, go get some sleep"
Gai's grin blinded Naruto for a few seconds. Gai assumed the Nice-Guy Pose and exclaimed
"MY SON! YOUR GLORIOUS FLAMES OF YOUTH HAVE WHITTLED DOWN TO MERE EMBERS, LET US REKINDLE YOUR YOUTH BY PULLING 100 TREES FROM THE GROUND!"
Naruto's eyebrow twitched as he yelled at his father
"I JUST NEED TO SLEEP, OK! CONGRATULATE ME AGAIN AFTER FOUR HOURS OR SO!"
Gai smiled widely and said (screamed):
"VERY WELL MY SON! I WILL LEAVE YOU TO REKINDLE YOUR FLAMES OF YOUTH BY SLEEPING, FAREWELL FOR NO, DEAR SOCHI!"
Gai blasted through the broken doorframe all the while exclaiming "DYNAMIC EXIT!"
Naruto looked at the alarm clock by his bed for a few minutes before taking off its batteries and laying down to sleep once more.
His eyes snapped open when Fujin drowsily asked:
"What happened?"
Naruto's eyes blazed and screamed at the facet:
"JUST GO BACK TO SLEEP!"
HIFUMI
You find yourself in a void, only blackness surrounds you. You look down to your hands and notice that your whole body is a shade of very pale grey.
Suddenly, three balls of light come dropping down and start to hover around you, a red orb, a blue orb and a yellow one.
They settled into a line in front of you before morphing into their own bodies, similar to yours, in the same color of when they were orbs.
Suddenly the darkness recedes, showing that you and the sillhouettes are in a gigantic sewer with knee high water with pipes running along the walls.
Your attention is caught by the darkness forming it's own body, a pitch black color, in front of a humungous gate being held together by a piece of paper bearing the kanji for "seal"
The three colored sillhouettes suddenly take aggressive stances towards the black one.
The black body smiles a malicious grin, showing its pearly white fangs, before setting into a stance itself.
You are paralysed in fear when you see a gigantic grin behind the bars perfectly similar to the grin sported by the shadow, above this grin, was a pair of crimson eyes with slitted pupils. The eyes focus on you and as soon as that happens, the shadow charges the colored bodies and then-
DYNAMIC ENTRY! BANG!
HIFUMI
"MY SON! I HAVE RETURNED IN EXACTLY FOUR HOURS AS YOU REQUESTED!"
Gai leaps off the crater in the wall and surveys his son.
His enormous eyebrows rustle in worry when he sees Naruto's state:
Sleepwear clinging to his body via sheet of cold sweat and a frantic expression on his face.
"What seems to be the problem, Naruto?" Gai asks in a gentle voice
Naruto grins at his father and replies
"Just a bad dream, tou-san, nothing much"
Gai smiles at his son and resumes using his "inside voice"
"THEN IF THERE IS NO PROBLEM, LET US CELEBRATE THE RECEIVING OF YOUR HITAI-AITE!"
Naruto jumps off the bed and salutes Gai
"YOSH, TOU-SAN, LET US NOW EAT AS MANY BREAKFAST SPECIALS AS WE CAN EAT FROM SHICHIUMA-SAN'S GRILL!"
"EXCELLENT IDEA, SON! LET US GO THERE NOW!"
Naruto did all the fun antics that he could with his second father the whole day.
They were joined by Kakashi sometime around three in the afternoon when all of them paid respects to Kenji's grave.
Naruto told Kenji everything that happened the whole week before pulling out an instant ramen cup from his pockets and putting it in front of the grave
"This is so you can celebrate along with us, tou-san, you know we all eat ramen when celebrating and even though you can thank Kami face to face for the meal, I know you wouldn't miss out on this"
Naruto leaned over to the grave
"Uchiha Shigeko wears white, blue-green striped panties, do you think she's a Hatsune Miku(1) fan?"
After paying their respects once more they strolled around Konoha buying different supplies.
Kakashi bought a new kunai set for Naruto and had his jounin vest repaired. Gai bought new sandals and ordered a packet of chakra paper for Naruto, and Naruto ordered a new door from the carpenters.
HIFUMI
After saying their goodbyes, Naruto went home and started to repair his bedroom door. He worked up a sweat repairing it that he took off his shirt while working on the door.
Little did he know is that across his bedroom window, two pairs of identical, onyx eyes stared at his sweaty form.
The public knows that Uchiha Sachiko and Shigeko were moved from the Uchiha compound to an apartment with an undisclosed location to prevent recurring nightmares, that apartment was right across Naruto's apartment(2) where he was working on his door shirtless.
Sachiko, the more boy-crazy than the two, was drooling while staring at Naruto's pecs and abs. she had to be physically ripped from the window so she can stop staring.
Shigeko looked at her sister with disdain, "We have to be strong, dammit! Not be drooling, love-struck fangirls crushing on their neighbors with nice abs, lean muscles and a luscious- No,no,no!"
She shook her head to stray her mind from these poisonous thoughts.
Sachiko's mind was in the gutter and stayed there.
Sachiko's fantasy
The guy crosses the street and knocks on their door "Ano.. Excuse me, is anyone home?"
Sachiko answers the door but opens it only showing her head.
"yes?"
The guy smiles
"I'm sorry but I ran out of sugar, can you spare me some?"
Sachiko shows pulls the guy in showing that she only wore a towel.
"I don't think we have sugar to spare but if you want something sweet-"
The towel drops to the floor showing that she wore nothing underneath
"you can have me to satisfy your craving"
Slap!
Fantasy end
"Snap out of it, Sachiko! Your bleeding on the carpet again!"
Sachiko grabs a tissue to staunch the blood floe from her nostrils
"Hm? You say something?" Sachiko asks her twin innocently.
FarFarAway no kuni
Kakashi suddenly feels the need to sneeze but he holds it in since he was behind his target. Kakashi mirks and decapitates his victim, al the while cheering Assasination succesful! In his head
Back to Konoha
Shigeko sweat-dropped and said "nothing"
Both of them sneak a peek at Naruto and dejectedly sees that he already put his shirt back on and is now returning the tools into the box.
The twins look at each other and say at the same time
"Quit looking"
Naruto better watch out, the Uchiha twins are on to him.
HIFUMI
You're in the sewer again, it seems you just repeated the scenes the last time only this time, you weren't frozen in fear after seeing the crimson eyes, you also get into a stance and charge the shadow.
The four of you surround the shadow and attacked from all sides.
The shadow blocked Blue's punch, hopped over Yellow's sweep kick, ducked Red's spinning back kick and drop-kicked you away, the shadow did all this in the span of less than one second.
You recover from the hitand decided to find the right time to strike.
The shadow is taking on Red, Blue and Yellow with no trouble, you can notice thet his moves were perfect, all of his moves had a purpose and the onslaught of attacks needed little to no effort to counter, evade or block.
You can feel the desperation radiating off of Blue and Yellow, the only one who can counter Black per strike was Red and you can feel the frustration in Red's actions, You realize that you Red realizes that all his efforts to defend from Black was futile.
Black sees a very opportune counter, whe Red thrusted his elbow, he spun around so he's right behind Red, he used the spin's momentum to hit the back of Red's head with an elbow of his own, Dazed, Red crumpled like a piece of paper before being kicked by Black, straight towards you.
Red's body flies towards you, you brace yourself for impact-
YOUTH!
HIFUMI
"These dreams are starting to get to me" Naruto mumbles as he walks towards the academy
He goes into the room and surveys the available seats.
"The first, third and, fifth row, between the Uchiha twins and- why would I search when I already found it?"
Naruto blurred between the twins again when he noticed the different reaction compared to last time.
Nothing wrong with Shigeko, facing the other way with her arms crossed under her generous bust, if only he looked closely he would see that her ears are red hot, along with the rest of her face.
Sachiko had a different reaction, she faced the other way and layed her face on her crossed arms on the table, if Naruto pulled her hands off her face, she would have been close to gushing out blood from her nose.
Naruto, thinking that it was another sign of ignoring him, let it pass and simply waited for Iruka to announce the teams.
If he looked at a few seats behind Him, He would see Hyuuga Hinata, staring at him with her Byakugan activated, pinching her nose so as to not spray blood all over the classroom.
Shino can only express a small smile at Naruto's predicament
"Not even in teams yetbut he can already steal the hearts of my peers, commendable, Naruto-san, your aura is incredible"
HIFUMI
