Chapter 8

                                    

                                          
Naruto walked with his genin team in town. The girls or women they all blushed madly at Naruto or had collapsed from nosebleed. Team Naruto grinned at each other. Their sensei has just established a fan club here. 
"What do you guys wanna eat?" Naruto asked his team. "Anything!" They exclaimed cheerfully. Naruto regarded his team before gesturing for them to come with him.
"Ichirakus." Hakura read quietly. Naruto nodded as he looked back at the restaurant almost nostalgically. "I use to come here. It was the only thing I could afford," Team Naruto looked at each other sadly, "it was also because the others hated me. They didn't let me in, in fear I would kill them because of what I possess." Naruto said quietly. He felt something wrap around his shoulder and pressed against him. Naruto froze but relaxed once he realise it was Hakura being in her motherly mode. "Lets go eat sensei." She whispered, wanting her sensei to not be upset. 
"Welcome! What can I get for, uh, you guys?" Ayame asked, she blushed and faltered when she saw Naruto. "4 bowls of miso ramen please... Ayame nee-chan." 
"Okay!" She said but froze. Did he just call her nee-chan? Only one person she knows calls her that. "Naruto." She whispered. "Yes nee-chan? Naruto asked innocently. "It's you! Oh my god!! Tou-san !" She screamed for her dad. "It's Naruto-kun!! He's back!!" 
There was footsteps after some clangs of kitchen utensils. "Naruto!" He greeted warmly and realised Naruto's headband wasn't konoha's. He nodded. This village deserved it. They were the one who treated their jinchuriki badly. "Good decision Naruto." 
"Thank you." 
Teuchi went to make his order and came back with 4 steaming bowls of ramen. "So who are this 3 kids?" Ayame asked. "They're my team."
"He's our sensei!" The team chirp. "Oh my God!! This ramen is God!!" Akara exclaimed as he slurped loudly. Teuchi and Ayame laughed. "Naruto being a sensei, impressive." Teuchi said. "Yep! He's a year younger than us! that's the cooler thing." Katsu said, waving his chopsticks. 
"Alright. I'll leave you guys to converse. Does anyone of you want more?" Teuchi asked. "Me!" The genins yelled as their hands shot up. He chuckled and provided to making their orders while Ayame entertained the other customers. 
***********
"Where do you guys think Naruto might be?" Tenten asked as rookie 9 walked together towards no where in particular, their only aim is to look for Naruto. "Urgh! That sensei is so hard to find!" Katsu grumbled as Team Naruto walked past rookie 9. "Let's help them!" Lee said. "No." Neji immediately objected. "Why not? They are so youthful! We should be youthful with our help too!" Lee said. "No, it's their team training. Naruto isn't hiding from them for a reason like merely trying to avoid them." Shikamaru explained as he watch Team Naruto stand in the clearing. "Alright! That's it. Haku-chan!" Akara exclaimed and Hakura nodded. The ground immediately started to crack from the tip of her foot. She had pushed chakra from her foot down into the ground. It held enough force to crack the ground and it would spread through very quickly to open up the ground. They saw a quick flash of yellow. "Shit." Katsu cursed under his breath as they went into formation. Back to back, kunais in hands. They scanned their surroundings intensely. They froze when they felt a breeze touch the back of their necks. Naruto was standing upside down from the tree branch they were standing under. Naruto had tapped them each, signifying that they are dead. Naruto flipped around so that he lands on his feet. "Sensei." They greeted. "What's your mistake?" Naruto asked. 
"We didn't check above our heads." Katsu said. Naruto nodded and raised an eyebrow, signalling for them to continue the list. They frowned as they thought hard. Naruto sighed and said, "never ever stand under a tree branch unless you can watch your heads or have a jutsu to protect your heads." And let out a blast of wind to deflect the oncoming kunais. "Nice." Temari's voice sounded as she jumped down from the trees. "This is how you do it." Naruto said. Then swung around to block Kankuro's attack. Temari and Naruto went back to back, she blocked Kankuro's attack while Naruto blocked Gaara's. "Temari," Naruto whispered to get her attention. "Hai."
Naruto flashed away. Tap. Flash of yellow. Tap. Gaara's down. Kankuro's down. Enemies defeated. 
Team Naruto stared in awe at seeing their sensei in action which rarely happens. Naruto being faster than Gaara's sand? Gaara's sand goes up by itself and Naruto being able to even touch him is impressive, and very fast. 
"Okay. I love your teamwork today. Hakura, your chakra control has gotten better. Akara, Katsu, good sensory." 
"Thank you sensei." 
"Naruto, you have a mission." Gaara said as he held out a scroll. Naruto took it and scanned through it before it caught fire because Naruto sent fire natured chakra through it to get rid of it. "Hai Kazakage-sama." Naruto bowed before turning back to his team. "Work on the scrolls I give you guys." He ordered before disappearing. Naruto has changed so much...
