It had been two weeks since Naruto awakened his Dojutsu's and he had been training with Anko Mitarashi in Interrogation and stealth. (Not that his stealth needed work).
The two had met when Naruto decided to have dango for a change and Anko had ended up stealing his dango and the two had a fight ending in Anko offering to train Naruto. Two could relate to each other and had spent much time not training. They either relaxed or talked about their past.
No one had seen him during those two weeks except the Hokage when Naruto went to inform him of what he knew. Hiruzen had a fit when he found out that Naruto knew who his parents was but calmed down after Naruto told him it was his right to know.
Now, we find Naruto practicing kata's-for the Taijutsu stance he had learned from Anko-at Training Ground Eleven.
Suddenly a he heard the sound of Kunai barreling towards him. On instinct he did a back flip causing him to dodge all except one that nicked his cheeks.
He pulled out Kunai and slipped into his family Taijutsu stance.
"Come out whoever you are", he said. Anko was on a mission so it couldn't of been here and she was the only one who could test his reflexive when it came to dodging. "What right do you have attacking Konoha Shinobi?".
"Calm down you Baka, it's only me", said a voice coming out of the trees to reveal Sakura.
"Oh…Sakura-chan, what's up?", he greeted/asked as he slid out of the stance.
"Nothing really, just wanted to ask for a spar, every time I asked Ino-pig she says she'll get dirty and Sasuke-kun always says I'm to weak", Sakura said with a weary sigh.
"Sure, I'll spar with you, but I won't be going easy", he warned.
"Sure, what are the rules, she asked.
"No deadly jutsus", he said with a shrug.
He slipped into his family Taijutsu stance; Kitsune and Sakura slipped into an unknown Taijutsu stance.
"What stance is that?", he asked.
"It's a work in progress, I call it the Sakura no Dansu (Dance of the Cherry Blossom)", she said happily.
"It's great, this is my clans stance the Kitsune (Fox)", he said making her tense.
"Naruto…if you don't mind…is the red hair because of 'it'?", she asked cautiously.
"No, a Genjutsu was placed on me so no one would no I was actually an Uzumaki, you see all Uzumaki's are born with red hair so the Genjutsu turned me blonde and let others think I was just given the name just because I didn't have one…and how did you know it was me in the first place?", he explained/asked.
"Oh…and as for knowing it was you, you're the only baka in Konoha who would were bright orange, plus I saw the Uzu swirl in your back", she said playfully.
"Anyway, let's get back to our spar", he said as he slid back into his stance.
"Let's go", she said doing the same.
(Streets of Konoha)
Sasuke Uchiha stoically walked through the streets of Konoha and the crowd of people parted for him to pass through as if he was God himself.
As he was on the outskirts of the village doing a walk he heard what sounded like grunts and groans.
He quickly turned heading into the direction of what seemed to be a battle.
(Naruto and Sakura)
"Shit", Naruto grumbled as he came out of some shrubbery after being sent there by a kick from Sakura. 'Alright, she got a good bit in that time'
He looked around to see Sakura not in the clearing.
He smirked and activated his Sensory abilities and immediately found her then saw Sasuke coming this way.
'Shit…I can't let Sasuke-teme see me doing jutsu, I got to keep this a secret', he thought just as Sakura jumped out of the trees with a Kunai. Naruto ducked, dodging it effectively then disappeared from view.
Sakura spun around to see the clearing empty. She only thought one thing. Where is he? Then she heard it but was too late. A hand came out of the ground and latched onto her leg. He smirked. One jutsu wouldn't hurt.
"Doton; Shinju Zanzhou no Jutsu (Earth Release; Double Suicide Decapitation Technique)", she heard and was suddenly underneath the ground only head showing. She glared at Naruto.
"Get. Me. Out. Now", she grumbled as Sasuke walked into the clearing.
"The Dobe and the fan girl", Sasuke observed which made both teens turn to him. He didn't no what was up with Naruto's hair but he knew it was him.
"Teme", Naruto growled.
"Hello Sasuke-kun", Sakura squeezed making Naruto roll his eyes as he dug her out. When she was out she was covered in earth and dirt.
"So Teme, why didn't you come out earlier?", he asked shocking the rave haired boy and rosette haired girl.
"How did you know I was there?", Sasuke asked.
"The Uzumaki clan has special Chakra which allows us to be Sensors", Naruto said as he left to retrieve his Kunai and Shiruken.
"Tch. Like a clanless nobody can ever have a power like that", he scowled but Naruto was out of ear shot.
"Actually Sasuke-kun, I read about it in the library, he really does have special Chakra like that", Sakura explained.
"I didn't ask for your opinion you annoying fan girl", Sasuke hissed as he turned only to be kicked into the shrubbery by and angry Naruto.
"Stop telling Sakura-chan those things Teme…or I'll kill you", Naruto hissed lowly.
"Katon; Gokakyou no Jutsu (Fire Style; Great Fireball Technique)", Sasuke yelled coming out of the trees.
Naruto smirked and ran through his own seals and slapped his hand on the ground, Doton; Doheki (Earth Style; Mud Wall)", the block of earth shot up
(Naruto and Anko)
"I thought I told you not to let your anger get the better of you", she scolded him like a little boy who got his hand caught in the cookie jar.
"Sorry Anko-sensei", he said.
"Well, can't really blame you, come on I want you to sign the Snake Summoning Contract", she said only to be stopped by a voice.
"Actually Anko-San, I was going to let him sign the Toad Summoning Contract", Jiraiya said jumping into the area admiring Anko's body.
"No Snakes".
"Toads".
"Snakes".
"Toads".
"Quiet", Naruto said ending their arguing.
They both turned to him.
"Which one do you want Gaki?", Anko asked.
"Why not both?", he asked.
"While that is possible the snakes and toads don't like each other", Jiraiy said.
"Meet me at The Forest of Death in five minutes", he said disappearing in Shunshin (Body Flicker).
Anko and Jiraiya watched each other and shrugged.
(Training Ground Forty Four/Forest of Death)
Jiraiya and Anoo appeared to see Naruto put up his special Camouflage seals around the clearing.
"What did you want Gaki?", Jiraiy asked.
"Summon Gamabunt and Manda", he ordered.
"Not a good idea Gaki, Manda will want one hundred sacrifices for summoning him", Anko said.
"And Bunta will try to kill me", Jiraiya said as he paled.
"Just do it", he replied and they bit their thumb and ran through the seals.
"Ninpo; Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Ninja Art; Summoning Technique)", they yelled and in two puffs of smoke Gamabunta and Manda were there.
"Whoever summoned me I want one hundred human sacrificesssss", Manda yelled.
"And Jiraiya I want Sake after this", Gamabunt yelled.
"Oi, shut up", Naruto yelled and the two summons looked at him and glared.
"And you are?", Gamabunta asked angrily.
"Manda-sama, Gama-sama, I am Naruto Uzumaki and would like to sign both of your Summoning Contracts", Naruto said with a bow.
"Who summoned ussss?", Manda asked.
"We did", Jiraiya said jumping next to Naruto with Anko.
"What meritssss do you to be allowed to summon both of us?".
Naruto smirked and closed his eyes only to open it and reveal the eyes of the Rinnegan in each socket. Yes he could use either one of each or both at the same time.
"Manda, that's the-", Gamabunta began but was cut off.
"I accept", Manda said suddenly. He wanted someone with those eyes to be his summoner.
"Me too", Bunta said after a moment of thought.
In four clouds of smokes to frogs and two snakes-much smaller than the bosses-appeared.
"Thesssse are my two daughtersss, Aoil and Rushiiii", Manda spoke.
"And these are my two sons Gamakichi and Gamatatsu", Bunta spoke
"My personnel summons?", Naruto asked and the bosses nodded.
"Outstretch your handssss boy", Manda ordered and Naruto did so.
Manda bit down on Naruto's left forearm and Bunta wrapped his tongue around his right forearm. When they pulled away his left hand had they symbol for Snakes and the right for Toads.
"Draw blood from your right hand to summon Toads…".
"…And your left for Snakesss", Manda finished as they burst into clouds of smoke leaving their children who moved forward and wrapped around Naruto's hand-the snakes-and jumped on his shoulders-the toads-making him wobble.
"I'm going to try and get to know the summons, later guys", he said shunshin'ing away.
"I can't believe it was that easy, all he had to do was flash his Rinnegan", Anko mused as only she, Hiruzen and Jiraiya knew of Naruto's two Dojutsu.
"Well, that's Naruto for you…Ja Ne", Jiraiya said also shunshin'ing away leaving Anko the last to leave.
(Haruno Residence)
Sakura walked into her house to see her mother and father, her father; Kizashi had a scowl on his face.
"Hey Kaa-chan, Tou-san", she greeted. Her mother waved but her father remained silent. She sighed her father had not talked to her since the incident two weeks ago.
(Flashback)
Sakura stormed into the living room angrily.
She glared at her father.
"You", she stated.
"Me? Me what?", Kisashi asked.
"You don't want me by him because of what inside of him!?", she hissed lowly.
"So he told you. Well, I hope you told him good riddance", her father stated sipping his tea.
"Actually I didn't, you see him as the Kyuubi itself but most see him as the jailor, looks to me like you're the real demon", she accused her father.
"Sakura, do remember that you lost uncles and aunts to that retched thing", her father said but to no avail.
"I know I lost uncles and aunts but remember that the Kyuubi killed it and not Naruto", she said.
"Don't speak that things name in my house again", he spat angrily.
"Fine, but remember this, what do you think would've happened if he wasn't born that day, he said sealing away the Kyuubi has to be done in a new born baby and he was the only newborn", she said and stomped out of he room leaving a worried Mebuki and Kizashi who was in thinking mode.
(Flashback End)
"What's wrong Sakura?", her mother asked seeing her daughters troubled face.
"Today, Sasuke told me some harsh things…and Naru…he defended me", she told them and her father looked at her. She had left out the 'kun' suffix.
"Sakura", her father spoke. His voice was tired and hoarse.
"Y-Yes Tou-san?", she answered.
"If you ever start a relationship with Uzumaki I would like to meet him", was all he said as he got up and left.
Sakura turned to her mother who had a teasing grin.
"So, is my little cherry blossom's finally getting some feeling for a certain Uzumaki?", her mother teased.
Sakura blushed Crimson and shouted 'NO' and stormed into her room.
As she lay their she began to think. She thought and thought but couldn't come within reason. She was as confused as Naruto was in the academy. She laughed at her little joke. Two weeks. Two weeks until team selections. Not coming up with any resolve she tried to sleep. She tried and tried until sleep came at around one o'clock the next morning. But before she went to sleep she asked the question that had been on her mind for the entire night.
'Do I like Naruto?'.
