Chapter 5

AND UP WITH THE CURTAIN!

-Shoyu-Sha Complex-

Koyuki was freaking out. Actually he was a little more then that, he had butterflies of steel and acid fluttering around in his stomach. How the hell was he supposed to tell Naruto about this? He loved the little carpet shagger, it was hard not to once you really began interacting with the little midget. Koyuki began muttering to himself, in an attempt to psych himself up for the coming conversation with Naruto.

"Come one man! You are almost eighty years old, you've killed more people then times you've had s*x!" Not that either number was insignificant he thought to himself. As he continued to mutter, he absentmindedly rubbed his now empty right eye socket.

"I mean come on, you gouged out one his eyes with a kunai when he was ten, and then popped in what amounts a chakra filter in the form of a false eye that used to be in your eye into his, its not like this is gonna be much worse in the grand scheme." Koyuki groaned in frustration.

"I mean come on, it cant be that hard to tell him that he has to kill me."

-Hokage tower-

"s**t ,s**t, shiiiiiit!" Mizuki was not a happy minion, he had been forced to take action by his master Orochimaru, and rather then waiting until after the Genin exams, he had been forced to take pre-emptive action when it was revealed that security at the scroll archives in the tower would soon be upgraded, making it impossible for him, let alone a snot nosed Genin. And now he was running through Kohona on his way to the gates as alarms sounded behind him.

Shoyu-Sha Complex-

As Koyuki continued to fret, and groaned at himself once he realized he was fretting, he heard a frantic knock at the door. Crossing quickly to the door, and with a snarl demanded, "What is so important, that this late at night you bother me?"

Taken briefly aback, the ANBU in a rat mask who had been just about to knock again, swiftly yanked his hand down and gulped, the Anbu remembered the last time someone had bothered the resident of the Shoyu-Sha Complex late at night, Kohona ninjas had still been finding pieces of the intruder scattered across half of Kohona more then a week later. Forging on bravely if stupidly ahead,"Koyuki-Sama, the homage wishes for you to hunt down and execute Chunin Mizuki for the crime of stealing the Forbidden Scroll."

Koyuki sighed, nodded before brightening as a lightbulb clicked on. On further reflection, this could be exactly what he needed… The ANBU that was waiting for confirmation that the mission was accepted began to pail as Koyuki began to let loose great bellows of dark laughter. shaking himself out of his mirth, Koyuki nodded to the ANBU,

"Mission accepted, tell Sarutobi that I plan on passing of the mantel to Naruto during this mission, understood?" The ANBU responded with a quick nod as Koyuki quickly turned to walk back inside. As the ANBU quickly ran back to report to the Homage all he could think, was that he hoped for the Naruto's sake that the graduation ritual for Naruto to attain the full mantel of Koyuki No Shoyu-Sha wasn't killing his master.

-Shoyu-Sha Complex-

Naruto awoke with a start to hear his master calling for him, almost falling out of the tree he was napping on in the process, with the Jade eyes influence on him, Naruto had begun sleeping less and less, he was now down to two hours of sleep for every 24 hours. Naruto idlely realized that his lack of a need for sleep was probably how Koyuki had managed to have breakfast prepared for him every morning over almost 7 years. As Naruto jogged over to the main house to see why Koyuki-Sensei needed him, he thought about just how much the bald man had done for him, as he did so he heard a voice echo across Kohona. "AND WHO JUST THOUGHT I WAS BALD"

-Sentimental flashback time-

age five- Koyuki had taken Naruto into his home, and had actually supplied things like fresh fruit and clean clothing, even going as far as to let Naruto paint his room orange.

age six- Koyuki baked Naruto a cake for his birthday, and when Naruto burst into tears because for the first time, his birthday was not a day to be feared, Koyuki gave a smile and hugged Naruto before handing him his new wardrobe.

age 7- The villagers who had been so scared of Naruto's new guardian finally plucked up their courage to try something new (with the encouragement of a certain pink haired civilian council member) and as Naruto felt his bones break from the mobs violence, he began to hear the mob screaming, not cheering for the suffering that was inflicted on the little blond, but screaming in pain and terror, and as Naruto sight began to darken, he heard Koyuki yelling to just hold on- that he was coming, and Naruto smiled.

age 8- Koyuki was about to bust a gut as Naruto spectacularly failed his attempt at the Henge, and rather then Ayame from the ramen stand that his student so liked to visit, there was instead a solid mass of fat with outcroppings for legs and arms, and a pimple for a head, the form which in its entirety looked closer to a rather ugly dwarf, rather then the rather shapely ramen chef.

age 9- Naruto cheered himself on as he continued to master the shadow clone jutsu as Koyuki watched on with pride in his eyes and praise on his lips.

age 10- Holding back his tears, Koyuki hugged Naruto as the child brought a kunai up to his eye before he haltingly gouged his eye out.

age 11- as Koyuki continued to teach Naruto, the little blond could only think, "is this what its like to have a father?"

-present-

As Naruto arrived in front of Koyuki, the older man began to speak in a formal tone. "Apprentice of the Koyuki No Shoyu-Sha. On this, the last day of your training, we will engage in a hunt for a traitor to Kohona, who has stolen a valuable scroll from the Hokage Tower, at the hunts conclusion you will receive the remaining eye from me and assume the title of Koyuki No Shoyu-Sha as you enter into the world of Shinobi." Naruto nodded with expectation in his eyes.

"Hai Sensei!"

AND DOWN WITH THE CURTAIN!

Author's note

yo, I am enjoying this story, any ideas team wise? I dont want to go cliched team 7/8 route, but I love the mechanics of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio and how they interact with the other in the forest of death so I aint gonna change that either.

Climatic scene with Koyuki, Mizuki, and Naruto next chapter.
