Martial Arts, Modeling, and Madness
Chapter 1
Chapter 1
Note:This is set in LA present day. Naruto, Hinata, and the rest of the gang aren't actually ninjas but this story uses the same characteristics and appearances so in essence they are the same.
Beep-a-da-beep beep beep-a-da-beep. Naruto rolled over not wanting to get up. Beep-a-da-beep beep beep-a-da… Naruto slammed the snooze on his alarm clock. It was 6 am time to get up.
He got up and stretched. After taking a shower, he got dressed shoved some cereal into his mouth and ran out the door. He checked his watch. He had just enough time to jog over to the dojo where he trained and get in a few rounds before, Granny Tsunade would drag him over to go to his shoots for the day.
He really would prefer to simply do martial arts and not have to stand in front of a camera while they took pictures of him but it couldn't be helped. His godfather, and martial arts teacher, who he called Pervy Sage, as well as his actual parents, who died before he was 1, had been good friends with the old man who ran a modeling agency. Naruto had really like the old man. Unfortunately the old man died when Naruto was 12, and his daughter, Tsunade, took over the agency. She had also been good friends with his parents and was about the same age as 'Pervy Sage'. (in their 50's [but she doesn't look it])
She began pestering Naruto to try modeling. Even at a young age, Naruto was very fit and even cute, if you cleaned him up. However, people tended not to notice since he wore baggy unfashionable clothing and was not the cleanest person in the world. (He comes from the poorer/slums of town) However, she finally got him when he was 16.
It was all due to the fact the 'Pervy Sage' has been in love with Tsunade since high school and though he is a womanizer and perv, he never really got over her. So she got him to give Naruto special training for as long as Naruto modeled.
Thus Naruto had been modeling for 3 years now. He was use to it and often told he was a natural, but didn't really care. As long as it got him extra training he was good, but that was it. About a year after he began modeling, girls started attacking him wanting to be his girlfriend and maybe even hook up a modeling job for themselves, or at least be able to brag that their boyfriend was a model. That was about the time that he started dating Hinata.
She was different, he had known her for a very long time, but they had only really become friends at the beginning of high school. They became really good friends and then, a week after her 17th birthday, Naruto asked her out. They have been dating ever since. (Now back to present)
Naruto finally reached the dojo. No doubt 'Pervy Sage' was off somewhere doing who know what. Thankfully, Naruto had someone much more reliable that he usually did morning training with. He walked into the building, heading for the locker rooms to get his stuff.
After changing he walked out only the practice area. Looking around he spied a beautiful girl about his age practicing kicks on a punching bag. She had long hair, which was currently pulled back into a braid and though she was delicate boned, her kicks were powerful.
Naruto snuck up behind her before shouting, "Hey Hinata, how's it going?"
Caught off guard Hinata jumped in surprise and let out a tiny squeak. Quickly turning, she found herself face to face with her boyfriend. Blushing she stammered, "N-naruto you s-surprised me. D-don't you have a p-photo s-shoot t-today?" her violet eyes looked up to meet his bright blue ones.
"Yeah, but I don't need to be there for a while." He said ruffling his wild blond hair. "Plus what kind of person would I be if I didn't say good morning to my girlfriend." Naruto gave a foxy grin.
"Ummm…w-well…uhh…" Hinata blushed.
"You two going to stand there all day staring at each other?" shouted Kiba from across the room. Kiba was one of Naruto's good friends and an avid dog-lover. He had a crush on Hinata, but got over it about 4 months after the two had started going out. Now he saw Hinata as just a friend (though a really hot one[don't tell Naruto]). Apparently Kiba had taken it over as his goal to tease the two relentlessly.
"Hey Kiba, you picking a fight?" shouted Naruto back
"Maybe I am."
"Well then bring it." Naruto shouted baack. He then leaned over to Hinata and gave a kiss. "See you shortly, Hina, after I beat the crud out of this punk."
Hinata smiled and gave him a quick kiss back. "My turn next" she said softly. Hinata was a good fighter though nowhere near the level of Naruto and Kiba and some of the other, still she loved sparing with Naruto, because he always gave her advice and helped her, though he did hold back, he never went easy on her, he simply made sure never to hurt her. (apart from sore muscles)
Naruto walked over to where Kiba was. "Lets get this started!" he roared. Kiba grinned. He had grew up with Naruto. Together they had survived fights, and narrowly missed drugs, gangs and the police. They both had hard lives, but Kiba always enjoyed hanging out with Naruto. Even though some of his background was shadier than an alley way, he was a good guy who honestly watched out for his friends.
Their match was heated and both were highly skilled, but Naruto didn't get his title of #1 most unpredictable for nothing. After about 20 minutes, Naruto had Kiba pinned. He smilled panting heavily, "I win!"
This wasn't a great surprise Naruto usually won. It wasn't that they were terribly mismatched, it was simply that Naruto was just a bit better.
"G-good job Naruto." Said Hinata as she handed him a towel and bottle of water.
"Ok so you're up next." Naruto told her still slightly panting.
"D-don't you want to r-rest?"
"Nah, just let me catch my breath real quick…Hey Kiba, nice fight, I think you were closer this time." Naruto grinned teasing his friend who hated that he almost always lost against him(Naruto).
"Yeah whatever man, next time I won't go so easy on you." Kiba shouted back rubbing his sore shoulders.
"Alright Hinata, you ready? So what do you want to work on today…" he turned around to find Hinata very carefully dabbing a wet towel on a bloody gash in her hand. "What happened?" he asked as he rushed over.
"W-well I just was polishing the k-katana and my hand s-slipped. I-I'll be fine though. I just n-need a band aid. It w-won't even leave a s-scar."
However, Naruto had already shot off in search of a band aid. Hinata sighed sometimes he could be a little overprotective of her, not that she cared. She actually rather liked it. But sometimes it meant that he had to stop everything or take the most unnecessary precautions. Hinata smiled just a bit. If it made Naruto happy it who was she to complain because Naruto's happiness was hers.
"Hmmm, your little puppy dog boyfriends off somewhere? Let me guess, getting a band aid?" A confident middle-aged woman's voice said.
"Oh Ms Tsunade, I-i didn't realize you were h-here." Said Hinata hoping that A) Tsunade wasn't drunk and B) that she wasn't here to take Naruto away for the day.
"Hmph, well if that idiots not around…"
"Hey Granny Tsunade! What are you doing here?" shouted Naruto across the room.
"speaking of the devil.' Tsunade said under her breath. Then out loud she shouted back, "Same goes for yourself. Not planning on trying to ditch today are you?"
"Well, just waiting until I had no choice."
"And you mean…"
"You dragging me there. Duh Granny."
Tsunade hit him over the head. "Hey show your elders some respect!"
"Owowow!" Naruto clutched the top of his head.
"A-are you alright N-naruto?" Hinata asked in worried voice as she rushed to his side.
"Yeah I think I'll live. Oh by the way here's your band aid."
"T-thank you." Hinata blushed just a bit.
Tsunade chuckled. This was going to work out better than she thought. "Hey you two!" she shouted. "Hey you guys, I got a favor I got to ask you both for." This will be interesting, Tsunade thought.
