You know guys? I don't really know what to do with this whole MinaKushi business. I kinda want to like redeem them or at the very least make them remorseful.
Meh! I'll figure something, one way or the other. . .
Mia Heartnet: thank you for the review and well . . . I like your suggestions and I think I'm gonna try (key word: try) to put a little bit of all your choices in this fiction. That alright with you? =^.^=
Oh and I'm changing their ages when they graduate. So instead of 12 I'm changing it into 14 and they would be attending the academy for five years, so they would start attending at the age of 9.

黒蝶のナルト
Chapter Two
One year later . . .
A young boy stood amongst the crowd in front of the academy awaiting for the Yondaime Hokage Namikaze Minato to formalize the beginning of the academy year with an inspiring speech.
When the Yondaime began his speech, the young boy immediately tuned him out, opting to play with his waist-long blond hair that was swept into a high ponytail instead. If people would turn to look at the boy, they would see a beautiful, 9 year old, blonde girl with creamy alabaster skin, golden-blonde hair and sparkling sapphire eyes. His choice of clothing doesn't help either. I mean what kind of guy would wear skintight red shirt that shows his lean midriff, underneath a black leather jacket, a skintight black leather shorts that ends up 4 inches above the knee, black leather lace up knee high combat boots with 2 inch heels and studded red fingerless leather gloves.
Many a people had assumed him to be female and neither does he confirms it nor denies it. He just lets them believe what they want.
Once the Yondaime had finished his speech, the new and old students slowly filed inside the academy but not before being wished by their parents 'good luck'. Naruto envies them; their families doting on them, mothers giving hugs and kisses, fathers giving encouraging words and siblings looking up to you. But Naruto knew it's a moot point wanting the things that can never be his.
He caught sight at his peripheral vision a familiar sight. Minato and Kushina gushing over their 'chibi aka hime' and the villagers praising their 'hero'. It's pretty much the same thing every time except maybe when there were a few drunken men that had lost everything to the Kyuubi attack and had formed a small mob then proceeded to attack his jinchuuriki sister.
That had been the best night he had had in all of his small life! Hearing her scream, whimper and moan in pain. Unfortunately for him, his fun had been cut off by those blasted ANBU's of his father, rescued their Yondaime's daughter then detained the mob to be brought to Mitarashi Anko and Morino Ibiki for some quality tine.
He remembered all the men's faces that night and tried to find them around the konoha but they can't be found and had immediately assumed that they were killed or had been locked up for the rest of their miserable lives.
Maybe he should device a plan or something, to discredit or maybe ruin the monster and take the demon down from her peg. The spoiled brat actually think that the Kyuubi no Kitsune's power was hers! Talk about being a delusional brat!
Naruto scoffed as he slowly made his way to his assigned homeroom, not only was Minami spoiled and delusional, she was also so dumb that she puts a whole new meaning to dumb blondes!
Pulling out off his musings, Naruto looked up to the door number and saw that he had arrived at his homeroom for the next 5 years. Room A-5 led by Umino Iruka-sensei and assistant Tozo Mizuki-sensei.
When Naruto entered the classroom he noticed that the academy sensei's haven't arrived yet and so without breaking stride he walked up to the upper-back seat at the upper-end of the third row which is nearest the windows.
He was aware of the leering looks of the other boys and the looks of envy from the girls. He opened his right eye when he heard the door open with a bang, smashed in more like it. And lo and behold. . . Minami in all her atrocious orange glory, shouting her name and all that shit at the top of her lungs.
"The name is Namikaze Uzumaki Minami and I'm going to be the next Hokage! Dattebayo!"
Seriously, there isn't anything wrong with wearing orange, just not that bright and not that much. Color blind, another characteristic unique only to Minami. And the verbal tic! Wonder where she got that from? Kushina? Minato? Come to think about it he had, on occasion, heard Kushina's slip of tongue. 'ttebane? 'ttebayo? Close enough, ne?
If it were any other kid the whole class would have laughed their heads off. Going to be Hokage? The only people that's going to be Hokage are the most powerful, like the Yondaime. But this was the Yondaime's daughter we're talking about, it's a totally done deal!
Once the classes for the day was over, Naruto has only one word to describe his whole day . . . BORING! The topics in the academy books, he had already read from the library at their house and at the Shinobi Library.
He is still debating whether to graduate early in 6 months time or wait the whole 5 years before graduating. Hmm. . . Decisions, decisions. . .
Naruto sighed, his training only consists of physical exercises, shuriken and kunai throwing, and chakra control. He needed something that could help him with his training. No he did not need something, more like someone. But who?
Speak of the Devil and the Devil shall come . . . Danzo.
Naruto doesn't know if he was that lucky or fate just favors him. Meh, let's just go with luck. He had heard of this man, Shimura Danzo, one of the teammates of the Sandaime Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen along with Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura and the leader of his own faction of Root ANBU. That was all he could glean from all the ranting his father had made when he threw a bitch fit.
"Naruto-kun, I see that you aren't neglecting your training unlike most academy students these days." Danzo asked in a toneless voice
"Now what's it to you, Danzo?" Naruto replied keeping his expression neutral. Seriously! This old guy's scaring the bejeezus out of him.
"I have always watched you. You and your sister. Every single detail for the past 9 years and all I can say is, I want you as my apprentice." Danzo continued as if he hadn't said anything, "You are talented, Naruto-kun. Such raw talent that rivaled the likes of Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Itachi. But talent will remain just that if not nurtured. So, what will be your answer?"
Naruto opened his mouth to reply but was cut off by Danzo, "You don't have to answer me today but in two days time, I will return here for your answer. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity that I am giving you. Anata no ryōshin wa tashika ni anata ni sore o kyohi shite iru koto wa machinaigainai. あなたの両親は確かにあなたにそれを拒否していることは間違いない (1)"
And with that Danzo disappeared into thin air and left Naruto in the clearing by himself. Naruto knew he needed a sensei of his own and he would have gone on to find one on his own but now Danzo was the one who had come to him with the offer. Well! He certainly would not look a gift horse at its mouth.
He would accept the offer. All that's left to do is wait for the two days to pass to give Danzo his answer.
A malicious smirk made it's way into his face, that just seems so out of place in his , otherwise, angelic appearance. He would learn everything Danzo had to teach him and more, he would milk the old war hawk for all he was worth. And then he'd get rid of him.
Another successful step towards his goal.
