Not Naruto Chapter 1, Scene 2- The apple and the tree.
Koto, the 10th, woke up that morning with his face on the table by his poem book and hookah. He had stayed up all night hoping to hear something from his beloved wife, who was still on a top secret mission. A mission that he himself put her on. "Damn that woman's talents." he grumbles as he splashes his face with cold water. A few months ago, he had turned 38, and he felt he was beginning to look it as well. With a receding hair line, and a few gray deserters on his chin's goatee. He never grew very tall, perhaps it was stress, but perhaps it was genetics (as Katsumi was short like he was) he only stood around 5'7" but as aching as his bones felt, he knew that he was the best suited for this job. He had only been Hokage for 6 years. Yet he still felt as though he was running out of time for whatever reason.
Perhaps it was the fact that his sensei Ohayame, the 9th Hokage, had been slain in such an odd incident that Koto felt anxious. Koto wondered if THAT virus would ever make its way back to the hidden leaf. Hopefully it will never rear its ugly face again, to any nation. "I wouldn't even wish that upon my own enemies.." grumbles Koto out loud, seemingly to himself. Deep in thought.
"Wish what now?" Kitsune had appeared in the doorway of the kitchen, getting herself ready for the training session with Katsumi. Koto hadn't even noticed her standing there.
She truly is ready to become a Jonin now, thought Koto to himself. Then smiling at her he responded " Oh nothing, just the ramblings of an old man."
She smiled back, her two toned short cut hair seemed to still be in her face a bit from the morning. "You are not that old Daddy." They chuckle a bit. She fixes up her hair, and begins to double check all of her equipment. They are silent for a while minding their own business, till Katsumi runs down stairs.
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM.
Flinging herself out the front door, making a tremendous amount of noise. Katsumi then pivots and looks back in the house whilst standing in the doorway. " Kitsuneeeeee!!!!" She calls out loudly to her sister who is only but a few feet from her. "I'm ready! Come on lets goooo!" She cries with glee and a determined look on her face.
Kitsune of course looks irritated at her 12 year old sister. Koto notices and speaks up quietly enough for only her to hear. " Be patient with her now. You're seventeen years old and ready to be a jonin, so prove it. " He smiles a challenging look to her. "Go on then, you're her sensei for the day."
She composes herself and says back to her father. "Thanks Dad, We will be back pretty late. Don't worry too much." She winks at him, and for a split second he could have sworn he saw the eye of that old Fox, he always thought he could see it. Ever since she was a baby, when he had been asked by his sensei to seal that monster inside of her. But he looked back with a kind and loving smile, "Train hard my darlings." Kitsune rushes out the door after her sister Katsumi, almost knocking over the academy teacher, Oda-sensei, who was apparently just outside the door.
"OOOFF!!"
"SORRY ODA-SAN!" she yells back, continuing to run after her little sister.
Oda waved while holding a large scroll he was carrying. Almost as big as he was. Oda was a tall man, built quite large boned as well. He was a chunin, and also the academy teacher. He had messy unkempt red hair, with bright blue tips, that dangled in front of his large thick goggles he wore. Usually wearing a large grin, his presence seemed to liven most moods.
"You're early Oda-kun. That's peculiar.." Koto Sarutobi says, sticking his head out of the door way to see the academy teacher standing there. Oda looks over at the 10th with a grin on his face. His only reply is...
"We need to talk."
"Come on then, get inside." Koto says as he takes the extraordinarily large scroll from the academy sensei. So Oda makes his way into the house, closing the door behind him. The 10th rests the scroll up against the Kitchen counter and takes a seat in front of his hookah. Motioning to a chair beside him for Oda to sit down. He takes his seat and looks over to the Hokage's dark sunken eyes and palid face. He was not looking well, but Oda didnt seem to notice much.
Pushing the blue tipped red hair out from in front of his goggles, he looks to the scroll and says "I still don't understand the fuss. Just because the Academy was broken into, nothing was stolen." He chuckles a bit, "Probably some genin who wanted to see if it was even possible. Nobody has interest in this scroll, Hokage-sama." Koto shoots a stern look at him while taking a drag on the hookah to light the coal and get the flavored tobacco burning. (Pineapple Rasengan Flavoring* his favorite)
While letting some frothy smoke bellow from his lips, he breaks the silence. "You're from a younger generation, this wouldn't make sense to you." Oda looks confused for a moment, thinking about speaking up, but he lets the 10th finish. "This scroll is actually quite valuable. The 8th hokage, Jichi Aburame, hid this scroll in the academy before I was born. It has been hidden in plain site, right above your head Oda-kun. Since even before you started teaching." Koto offers the hookah hose to Oda, and he joins in.
Koto continues "I received this information from my sensei, the 9th. It was only shortly before THAT Virus hit the village and he lost his life. Therefore, this scroll is quite valuable in my eyes.. and I am sure there are others who know about it in this world." There is another silence again, only broken by the sounds of the hookah bubbling. After what seemed to be a while Oda puts the hose down on the table, and looks up at Koto.
"So what is this scroll exactly then?" Oda asks.
"I could explain it to you... but, I am sorry Oda. I cannot trust you with this information until you are a more skillful shinobi." The 10th states, and Oda looks a tad disheartened but still wearing his usual grin. "I am sorry Oda-kun, I am, but you are only of chunin level when it comes to combat expertise. Even though your mind and heart are stronger than most of my anbu, the contents of this scroll must remain well guarded. And besides, I need you teaching in the academy. You are a brilliant teacher, and I have never seen such talented groups of genin graduating from the Leaf."
Oda's genuine smile had come back at this point. Koto went on to even mention to him about how the people around the leaf are starting to call the young academy sensei "Professor" as a fond nickname beginning to stick. "Professor Oda, yeah, I like the sound of that." He says whipping the red/blue messy hair from his face again. Then he remembers something, as if a light bulb had appeared over his head. "Oh, I almost forgot!" Oda pulls out a pouch filled with a light goldenrod colored pills. About 9 of them.
"Ah, the new batch is done. Wonderful, I have run out." The 10th grabs the pouch from Oda, giving him some money in exchange. "You are a great botanist and pharmaceutical engineer as well, Oda-kun. I do appreciate this." Koto places the pouch inside of his front coat pocket, right next to the large scar that runs from the Hokages cheek, neck, chest and to his lower abdomen.
"Of course Hokage-sama, and I will keep quiet about it as always. I hope your health impro.." Oda stops himself. "I have something else I wanted to talk to you about actually.." Koto looks up at him surprised, and grabs the hookah hose, motioning Oda Sensei to continue. "It is about Katsumi, sir. May I be honest?"
"You are her teacher until the weekend is over, I will hear anything you have to say. Please." Koto says while blowing out thick white smoke into the room.
"Well, I am worried about her. She did do amazing in the final exam, placing 3rd and all. But it was as if it had come out of no where. She spent most of this last year day dreaming. She works at her own pace, which is fine.. " Oda pauses for a moment and then goes on "However, when she is assigned a jonin sensei on Monday, it may not be so easy for her to work at her own pace. Things could get ugly." the academy teacher spoke, still smiling, but clearly concerned. "She acts so different from other Sarutobi, I just think that her apple fell a little far from the tree.. and she is starting to notice it." Oda finishes, grabbing the hookah hose off the table where the 10th had placed it.
Koto looks hard at his subordinate, and then smiles and looks to the window outside. "Well you must realize Oda-kun," the Hokage speaks up "that even though I am a Sarutobi, her mother is not. Katsumi's resemblance to her mother is uncanny. She has the Kyohaku blood running through her veins." Koto then steps back and looks to Oda sensei once again. "You say the apple has fallen too far from the tree? hmmm, I'd say you are looking at the wrong trunk. Someday, it is likely, that Katsumi will have no competition when it comes to ability and strength.."
They spent the rest of the morning and afternoon talking about things and having tea. It was a good day it seemed, and all the while Katsumi was training diligently with her sister. Harder than she had possibly ever trained before. Her sister, Kitsune, was the current jinchuriki of the 9 tails. She also had a bit of a temper usually. It wasn't easy...
I have more, but Ill release em after hype from 699/700 dies down. Thanks you guys.
