Uzumaki Naruto, an Exceptional Shinobi

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Takao's Love Life & Camp Forty-One

WARNING: SHORT CHAPTER AHEAD!!

:||:

Naruto frowns a bit at the situation at hand; Takao was a blushing mess while the girls, Pyro and Jin, were giving him smug smirks. "What's going on here?" Naruto asked the silverette. Kakashi simply looks up from his book before glancing back at it, "Takao's love life." Naruto was confused by this, "He has a love life?"

"N-Not y-you too N-Naru-to-sensei," Takao reddened more. Naruto give him a sheepish smile, "Sorry Takao, you're so painfully timid that I didn't know you had guts to ask a girl out." Sakura giggled at this, "He didn't. We forced him in a closet till he asked her out." Naruto gave her a disapproving look, "You can't do that to the boy Sakura. Takao probably blew a fuse. So, who's the lucky girl?" He turned his attention to the cherry red boy in front of him. Takao stuttered his answer, but Naruto manage to understand. "H-H-Hin-Hinata." Naruto blinked in shock, whoa, timid and shy unites for a date. "When is the date of yours Takao?" 'That boy got more game than you do,' Kurama commented. Naruto mentally glare, 'I thought you were babysitting?' Kurama grunted, 'I was till the parents came a day early and thank Kami they did. They would be without children again.' Naruto mentally shook his head at his companion before focusing on the date Takao was struggling to answer. Sakura sighs heavily, "It's a day after we return back from this mission Naruto."

"Let the boy answer, Sakura. It isn't your date." (She wishes she had one, though.) Naruto shakes his head at the antics from the pinkette and the pyromaniac of the group. Ignoring their banter Naruto's blue eyes glance back at Takao, "What are your plans?" Takao was still bright red as he tried to answer Naruto but was cut off when a random senbon grazed his cheek. Everyone froze in their spot as blood dripped from Naruto's new wound. Naruto sighs heavily at the thought of another "ambush," but before he can say anything Jin and Hibiki took care of it. "SHOW YOURSELVES COWARDS!!" Taisuke merely pinches his nose with a heavy sigh escaping his lips before pinning both loudmouths to the ground. "Naruto-sama, our apologies, but Kaya-sama said to attack any traveling group in a large sum of people." Naruto glances at the group of high-ranking Shinobis standing on high branches, "A problem of no value, but please next time, make sure on whom you are attacking. Find a reason to attack first, Kaya should know this by now," Naruto scolded. The group merely bowed their heads before appearing in front of them, "Let us show you the way to Kaya-sama," the leader of the group said.

"WHAT THE HELL?! YOU ATTACK US AND NOW YOU WANT US TO FOLLOW YOU?!" Jin shouted in irritation. Naruto sighs heavily at his loudmouth of a son before smacking the back of his head, "Settle down, will you? They were just doing what they were ordered to do." Naruto turns back to the leader of the group and with a quick nod from both parties; they were set off to enter Camp Forty-One. Jin silently huffed but followed closely behind his elder brother. Taisuke merely glance at him before sending him a small smile, "It will be alright Jin," he says before turning away from his brother. Jin stare at Taisuke for a minute before letting out a huge grin. Naruto gave out a small smile as he watched his two students slash sons before turning his attention back to the people leading them into camp.

Naruto's blue eyes caught sight of the camp before landing on a figure. "Well, if isn't the Mighty Kaya," Naruto smirk. Kakashi eyes the tiny figure in front of him, red hair blew in the breeze and red eyes gleamed in mischievousness. Her hands on her hips in a gloating way before laughing, "I see you got my welcoming gift!" She grins at them. Jin and Hibiki gain an irk mark, "WHAT YOU MEAN 'WELCOMING GIFT'?!" they both shouted. Naruto sighs heavily at the sudden chaos. With bored eyes, he stood beside Kakashi as they watch the scene in front of them. Kaya, the red headed girl, his loudmouth of a son and the other loudmouth were shouting at each other before Kaya decided enough was enough.
