Chapter 8 - Encouraging Hinata
Ding
[You have slept in your own bed. HP & CP have been restored. All aliments & negative status have been cured.]
Raito woke up unenthusiastically knowing that he was going to be transferred to 1-A which he thought to be a group of crazy peoples. Shaking his head he woke up and stretched and started walking to his new daily a.s.signment which was to wake up a loudmouth. But to his surprise he found the bed to be empty. So looking at the window, at the backyard he saw a yellow-haired boy doing famous stretching. Not wanting to be outdone, Raito also went to the backyard where after greeting Naruto he also started stretching but this time he didn"t get any stat up notification even after one hour. So, he continued half-hour more when got +1 DEX notification which made him a little happy when the stretching ended.
"Naruto let"s fight." Said Raito
"Huh? Sure." Replied Naruto
"But you will not use shadow clone and I will not use my chakra sense." Explained Raito
Naruto nodded and started running towards Raito whereas Raito took a defensive stance. Naruto threw a right straight and Raito caught the fist and tilted back and kicked Naruto on the chin and at the same time released his hand. Raito backflipped and stood to look at Naruto then again he took a defensive stand and asked, "Are you giving up Naruto?"
"d.a.m.n it!" roared Naruto as he again ran and threw his right fist and again Raito caught the wrist but this time Naruto in turn also caught Raito"s wrist and attacked with his left punching Raito"s face.
"Haha, nice counter it seems you did learn something yesterday." Said Raito as he moved forward and started attacking Naruto with punches and kicks and Naruto guarded against some and dodged with some. Raito"s attack became faster and faster after which he also added grabs and throws. Naruto was bruised and battered and also covered in dirt.
"You didn"t have to hit that harder, you nearly killed me Raito, it still hurts." Complained Naruto.
"But Naruto you recover fast so why worry, before going to the academy you will heal pretty nicely." Said Raito.
"But even so it hurts." Mumbled Naruto. "Say Raito can we go to that place again today, I want to practice some more."
"Ok, sure Naruto after we come back home. But before that why don"t you make clones for some reading and practicing calligraphy? " Smiled Raito.
"Ah, I forgot about that." Naruto laughed awkwardly and produced two shadow clones where they went to do their things.
Both went to the kitchen and Raito guided Naruto in making rice, eggs, and vegetables for the breakfast and the result was nice to be said.
While eating Raito said, "Ah Naruto I forgot to say but from today onwards I am going to be in your cla.s.s."
"Really!? But why?" asked Naruto
"You should be just happy that I am going to be in your cla.s.s. Why are you asking too much question?" snorted Raito
"Hehe, I am really happy. Now I have someone to sit with me." Smiled Naruto
"Huh? Don"t you have a bench partner or someone you sit with? I mean every cla.s.s has even number of students divided and didn"t Iruksensei a.s.sign partners to you all? So what happened?" asked Raito
"In the first year of the academy, the kid dropped the program saying it was difficult or so. And from then on the seat has always been empty." Replied Naruto as he finished eating.
"Ah Naruto why don"t you clean the house while I clean the dishes." Said Raito.
Naruto nodded as he made two shadow clones and started cleaning the houses. Raito thanked his WIS stat for thinking that he should teach Naruto how to clean the house properly otherwise he would have been hearing destroying of various things.
"I should do something about my stealth; books on stealth are decreasing fast." Thought Raito as he washed the dishes.
"Raito I am done cleaning." Shouted Naruto.
"I really envy your shadow clone technique." Said Raito as he collected all the books he could find.
"Hehe what can I say I really have the talent to be envy of." Said Naruto with a big smile as he rubbed his head.
Raito locked the door and stopped and looked at Naruto and said, "Naruto why don"t you activate the seal today?"
With a big smile, he stepped forward and made a half a half ram seal with his right hand and open palm with the right hand he placed his hand on the door. A yellow-orange layer of chakra glowed around Naruto and pa.s.sed through his hand and went to the seals and activating it.
"What was that?" said the stunned Raito.
"Mm? That?" asked Naruto confused.
"That orange light covering you. What was that?" asked Raito.
"Ah that was yang chakra or chakra related to life force; it was written in the book that people from my clan had incredibly strong life forces, granting us tremendous stamina and vitality and it was all because of this chakra." Said Naruto.
"Wow, does it do anything else?" asked Raito curiously.
"I think it is a bloodline thing but when my yang chakra is strong enough I can form chains, chains made with yang chakra." Said Naruto with a "V" sign.
"Chains?" Raito raised an eyebrow.
"Not just any chain but adamantine chain the strongest chain there is which can even hold down a tailed beast." Said Naruto with pride.
"Tailed beast like a dog or wolf or something?" asked Raito.
"What? No."
"Then what is a tailed beast?"
"Uh don"t know I haven"t read till that chapter." Said Naruto in a guilty voice.
"Uzumaki? Adamantine Chain? hold down Tailed beast?" questioned Raito mentally.
"I feel like I am missing something. Something really important." Thought Raito mentally.
"Wait where did you read all this from?" asked Raito as he knew Naruto wouldn"t have read a lot of books.
"I read from the book you gave me, it also talked about Uzumaki clans, their history, their abilities, and some seals." Said Naruto.
"All those things there? But when I looked I only saw seals on one side and description on the other side." Said Raito.
"What are you talking about look here this page has the origin of Uzumaki clan and this page talks about their establishment of the village in the land of the whirlpool and....." Naruto continued explaining.
"Observe."
Beginner fuinjutsu book
- A book guide to learn basic level fuinjutsu
- Uzumaki blood seal- only people of Uzumaki bloodline are able to read the true content of the book.
"f.u.c.k me I should have done it sooner. I just made me look like a f.u.c.king fool." Cursed Raito
"What Raito?" asked Naruto surprised at his friend"s anger
"Nothing I was being stupid it seems I got your stupidity affecting me too."
"Oi, I am not stupid."
"Then why haven"t you told me about the blood seal? Aren"t you a fuinjutsu pract.i.tioner?"
"Ah that I didn"t think about it but anyway let"s go to the cla.s.s." Said Naruto as he ran towards the academy.
"Don"t think I will forget about it Naruto, ah and why don"t I make some bamboo shoots tonight? Huh?" Replied Raito as he also ran to the academy
Cla.s.s 1-A
"Oi, you guys did you hear?"
"What are you talking about?"
"The demon brat, he was taken in."
"You mean N"
"Shut up. Do you want to get us killed?"
"Didn"t you hear about the Spring Silk Company?"
"Mm, the chairman got changed yesterday.
"And did you know who the previous chairman was?
"Some fatty"s dad in another cla.s.s."
"Fatty? Who?"
"No idea but I heard he was taken by an ANBU."
"Maybe he did something stupid."
"Not just stupid but he violated S-cla.s.s secret given by Hokage-sama himself."
"Is he really that stupid or what?"
"But how does it relate to the demon brat?"
"Everything is related to that demon. Listen...…"
As the thin boy narrated what happened yesterday the two boys paled.
"I heard it from my friend in cla.s.s 1-B so it is 100% true
As the boys were discussing, Choji was standing listening to what they were saying and the more he heard the angrier he got. Shikamaru had to drag him and calm down.
At the same time, Naruto and Raito entered the cla.s.sroom and everyone stopped talking.
"Choji, Shikamaru morning." Yelled Naruto
"Yo." Raito also waved his hand
"Naruto!! Why are you so loud early in the morning? Some of us are trying to sleep. So shut up." Said a boy with a messy brown hair, sharp black eyes with vertical slit-like pupils, p.r.o.nounced canine teeth and red fang markings on the face wearing dark grayish pants reaching to his calves and a grey, hooded fur-lined coat and the most eye-catching thing was the dog snuggled inside his jacket only showing his face

Tips:?
"Raito, here, come." Naruto pulled Raito to his desk.
"Oh isn"t it just the best place." Replied Raito as his hands felt the table and sat down.
"Sasuke-kun why don"t we go out after the academy ends and stroll around the park and we can also...." Said Sakura. Sakura had fair skin, green eyes, and pink long hair wearing a red qipao dress with short sleeves.
"Naruto why don"t you complete that book and maybe we can find out what is that thing is really about." Said Raito
Naruto nodded and started reading his small black book. Raito tried to peak if the words had changed or anything but found that to his eyes it was just the same as before.
"OI! FOREHEAD! What do you think you are doing buzzing around my Sasuke-kun!?" Yelled Ino
Everyone took out earplugs and wore them in such a practice manner that left Raito dumfounded even Naruto did the same.
"This cla.s.s is sick no wonder Iruksensei shouts all the time." Thought Raito
"ENOUGH YOU TWO!!" shouted Iruksensei who came inside and hit the two shouting girls with the register.
"Ah I see Raito-kun you are here on time." Said Iruksensei
"If you like sensei I can always come a little bit late and you can just let me go." Replied Raito
"I dare you to even try that, I already have my hands full on Naruto whenever he does his pranks." Said Iruka
"You mean stealth and trap making practice?"
"That is a nice way to put it but still it is a prank."
Iruksensei began calling out names and then he started teaching the cla.s.s. Many of the civilians were listening but a lot of people were doing something else. Shikamaru was sleeping and Choji was copying the same, Ino and Sakura were looking at Sasuke and had a big smile pasted on the face. Hinata was looking at Naruto fascinated at the image of Naruto reading a book. The boy beside Hinata was doing nothing while Kiba was playing with his ninken and Sasuke was well he was just looking bored staring out of the window.
Sighing Raito also took out a book from the inventory and started reading them.
Iruksensei was also sighing a lot internally, he knew that civilian children had very little hope of pa.s.sing the test and also that they would heavily depend on the written part of the exam. He put a lot of effort to guide the children but only a few were willing to put the effort, he was a little sad about that part but he was more than happy enough today because the worst in the cla.s.s or his self proclaimed smaller version Naruto had changed, changed for the better he had to say because Naruto was reading in cla.s.s today rather than sleeping or disturbing cla.s.s he was reading a book. Iruka had no idea what Naruto was reading but he was happy nonetheless. He had guessed it was because of the boy by his side.
Iruksensei was even more surprised when a book came out of thin air but didn"t show it on the face and continued teaching. Even though he was a Chunin that had determined to stay in the academy for most of his life teaching students, he was training sometimes alone and sometimes with a group. Right now he was a decent sensor who could easily outrank anyone in his rank in sensing but he wasn"t able to sense any chakra used when the book came out of thin air.
Raito, on the other hand, was smiling inwardly; he had seen his teacher looking at him when he took out a book from the inventory.
After some period of time
"Everyone move to the grounds, from today onwards we are starting advance academy level shuriken and kunai throwing." Said Iruksensei
"So did you find anything about the tailed beast Naruto?" asked Raito as they were leaving the cla.s.sroom
"No nothing about them but I completed the basic level of fuinjutsu. Later I can ask Jiji if I can start practicing the seals, I have a lot of awesome ideas." Laughed Naruto evilly
"Whatever." Raito scratched his head annoyed thinking what was about to come.
After finishing shuriken and kunai practice and eating their food, the five lay on the ground watching clouds.
"Argh I am sooo bored, Raito come let"s spar I have got to repay you for this morning." Said Naruto pumped up
"No way I don"t want to do anything right now, but you should ask Hinatsan, she is good at Taijutsu." Replied Raito as he pointed at Hinata
"Come on Hinata let"s spar." Said Raito as he pulled Hinata
"Raito, do you hate Hinata or something, you sound so distant when talking to her." Said Choji
"Hate her, no but I don"t like her clan." Replied Raito
"You got to give her some break you know? She is not her clan and she seems very different than the rest of them. Don"t you think so Raito?" asked Shikamaru
"Yea you could say so. I am surprised as to how she grew up in a house full of expressionless faced calculating old men. She is a lot different than what her clan says about them." Replied Raito
"Look at her. She is not even trying to attack, it would be better for Naruto to not train with her at all." Continued Raito
"She just doesn"t want to hurt Naruto and looking at her it seems she is too afraid of hurting anyone." Added Choji
"Afraid? Kind? Being a ninja means you have to do things that you may not like, you have to hurt someone you may not like. If she cannot even support someone why is she even trying to be a ninja?" growled Raito
"Oy Raito you are taking things too far she just doesn"t understand what she should do. If she had someone to guide her than she would be one of the best ninjas Konoha could ever get." Said Shikamaru adding his own mischief in it

"f.u.c.k, you show me this reward and ask me. Why would I even say no." roared Raito mentally. Raito accepted and stood up
"She has no one to guide? Then how about I give it a shot." Replied Raito
"s.h.i.t Raito I was just joking around…." Said Shikamaru
"You don"t need to worry too much Shikamaru. I will do my best." Said Raito
"s.h.i.t my luck. Choji if anything goes bad then I am not going to help this Sat.u.r.day." Said Shikamaru
"Y-You don"t mean it right Shikamaru? You wouldn"t do that to me." Said Choji horrified
Sighing Shikamaru could only hope things do not go bad
"My healing technique here I come."
"Naruto come here you don"t need to fight with Hinata anymore. AND YOU SHOULDN"T SEE HER ANYMORE TOO."
"What?"
"s.h.i.t I knew it."
Choji sighed and Hinata had tears in her eyes ready to burst.
"Raito what are you saying? She is a friend." Yelled Naruto as he removed the hands Raito put on Naruto"s shoulder.
"She is a friend that is why I am saying not to see her anymore." Raito glared at Naruto
"But why?" questioned Naruto as he saw Hinata tears dropping from her eyes
"Naruto do you know what Konoha is famous for and the reason they have dominated three wars?" asked Raito not answering Naruto
"Teamwork," Shikamaru whispered
"Its teamwork. But what does it have anything to do with Hinata?" asked Naruto
"Everything. Let me ask you one more question. Do you want Hinata to be on your team?" asked Raito pointing at crying Hinata
"Of course I do. Why wouldn"t I?" answered Naruto at once
"I won"t because I know she will be of no help to us, she would even be a hindrance to us and everyone around her."
"b.a.s.t.a.r.d why are you saying this? You are not like that." Naruto felt like his friend change and turned into a demon
"Do you know what a ninja is Hinatsan or what they do? Do you know what the life of a ninja is really like? Look at me Hinata and tell me what is the average life expectancy of the ninja?" turning away from Naruto Raito questioned Hinata
At the same time, Naruto was getting angry. He had never thought that his best friend would do anything like this. He was going to jump in and beat the h.e.l.l out of Raito.
But just as he was about to jump he found he was unable to move and found two hands pressing his shoulders. Shikamaru came forward and leaned near Naruto and spoke, "Listen Naruto what Raito is doing is all for the sake of Hinata, even though he is playing as a bad guy let them be for a moment. Will ya? Don"t think about it as good or bad but think about Hinata"s future?" Saying that calmed Naruto as he just watched Hinata and Raito
"I will tell you its 30-40 years and my own father died at the age of 36 and mother at the age of 32. I consider Naruto as my family and I would like him not to die. The sparring right now, Naruto was really serious about learning from you but on the other hand, you were not serious at all, you were not even attacking properly.
"I-I just d-didn"t wanted to see him get h-hurt because of m-me."
"Yes, I know. I know you have a kind and caring heart and don"t want to see others in pain but what you were doing is not helping him improve but pushing him towards his death. Hinatsan do you know why we spar right? Even though it hurts we do it, even though we feel the pain we do it and the reason is simple we simply do not want to die. Pain is nothing in front of dying and the pain you once inflict now may help others in the future. You may not understand but this is what my dad used to say. So that is why even though I didn"t want to fight with Sakura I did because I thought that would help her even if it is only a little bit." Said Raito as he faced Hinata
"R-Raito-kun...." She couldn"t help but watch the ground
Raito smiled as he saw Hinata waver.
"Hinatsan every time you hold back, remember you are weakening your friends and giving the enemy chance. You should learn how to control your strength so you can help your friends."
"Y-yes."
"And one more thing not shuttering, I don"t even understand what you are saying at most of the times and I don"t think Naruto also hears you properly." Said Raito the last part in a small sound.
"Yes."
"And I will let you in a secret. You know my mom and dad they used to spar a lot in their younger days, that"s how they came to know each other, like each other, fell in love and got married later. So do your best when sparring from now on. And Naruto here has insane recovery power so you can go all out on him." said Raito as he pointed at Naruto at the end.
At the same time Raito pointed his finger towards Naruto, he felt a chill crawling his spine.
"So Hinatsan can I ask you to do two things?"
"Yes."
"First try to control that shuttering. Next, try to give your best when sparring."
"Yes." Shouted Hinata in a loud voice

"Ok now the last part" "Naruto come here why don"t you try again." Said Raito as he faced back and looked at Naruto
"Ohhhhhh…..SURE." roared Naruto as he took a fighting stance
Raito went down to sit with Shikamaru and Choji.
"It went smoother than I thought." Said Raito
"b.a.s.t.a.r.d don"t try things like that ever again. It was good that Hinata was able to endure but if it was any other than a person then they would have been broken or something. You should really join the T&I department." Roaring turned to mumble and mumbling turned into silence as Shikamaru saw Hinata fighting without holding anything back. It was like Naruto had his hands tied, Hinata was attacking again and again and it wasn"t stopping.
"Ah looks like my advice went well, she needs to learn to hold back but it seems fine for now." Said Raito giving himself some praise
"You seem to have made a demon." Said Shikamaru
"Now let"s not talk about them, Choji would you like to select the topic this Sat.u.r.day and this time you are going to fight alone." Said Raito as he gave Choji eye smile.
Gulping hard Choji decided, "This month last Sat.u.r.day topic will be MEAT JUST MEAT."
"Better be prepared Choji. You do remember what happened, don"t you? Those shrimps were delicious." Said Raito as he makes slurping and gulping sounds
"But didn"t you give him half at the end." Said Shikamaru
"d.a.m.n it Shikamaru."
"d.a.m.n HinatChan you were so strong I didn"t even know you could hit so hard." Said Naruto as he started talking with Hinata
"Also she makes great food." Added Choji
"A strong ninja and a great cook, won"t she make a good wife Naruto?" Asked Raito
Redness covered Hinata"s face and nearly fainted

"Great! More things to worry about." Mumbled Raito
"Raito call her, she deserves it and you know it." said Shikamaru
"You are being troublesome. Stop pushing me Choji." Said Raito
"Umm. Ahem Hinatsan why don"t you come to our house this Sat.u.r.day, there would be four of us and we would like to have you too and Naruto will be there too." Said Raito
"I have to ask m-my father but I-I would l-love to come." Said Hinata
"The house is at the intermediate residential district house number 4400." Said Raito
At the training hall
"HA!" with a palm strike at the abdomen Sakura was sent out crashing on the wall.
"Winner Hyuga Hinata." declared Mizuki-sensei
"That was some nasty strikes there."
"Yup that Hyuga girl is really showing her skills now."
"Something definitely changed, did she perhaps got a boyfriend?"
"Hmph…..If that is our Kunoichi of the year than that would be a real shame, losing two times in a row. Will Sasuke be ever interested in girls that always lose?" said Raito as he watched the match
"d.a.m.n it Raito just stand still so I can punch you." Said Ino
"No way I am going to get punched today, I can act anymore I am too exhausted." Replied Raito as he dodged another punch
"b.a.s.t.a.r.d." Ino came running towards Raito raising her fist ready to strike however Raito had caught her fist and threw her, ending the match
"Winner Yoshizawa Raito." Declared Mari-sensei
"Kid you should be gentle with ladies otherwise you will forever remain single in your life." Teased Mari-sensei
"Ino looking at you I can only tell you will never make you dad proud, you are dieting and fawning over a boy who is always brooding, you are a ninja G.o.dd.a.m.n it! For G.o.d"s sake please let your dad boast a little when he meets with his friends, Shikamaru and Choji are making progress but you, on the other hand, are not. Just think about your dad sitting with his colleagues, when he have nothing good to say about his only daughter whereas other parents will boast about their children." Said Raito as silently as possible
"d.a.m.n it Raito, d.a.m.n you." Ino stood up tears in her eyes and ready to punch Raito when she was held by Mari-sensei
"Calm yourself Ino match is over, come with me." Said Mari sensei as she released her hold and looked at Raito, "Kid you sure dug a hole for yourself."
Raito just stood there silent and smiling throughout cursing himself a million times.
After sometime Ino and Mari-sensei came back to the room, Ino returned to her place whereas Mari-sensei after looking at Raito smirked and flickered away.
"Cla.s.s you need to remember about hand seals, although it has been a month I hope everyone has been practicing the hand seals. I will again tell you some benefits hoping that it could encourage you; Iruksensei sighed as he looked everyone and said, "Everyone should know what hand seals are but everyone may not know that a high Jōnin level can make twenty or more seals in one second. The faster the seals are faster you can cast your jutsu. Some jutsu have more hand seals so it will help you all in the future if you start practicing hand seals from now."
"Everyone dismissed," shouted Iruksensei
As soon as everything ended noises started like a wild fire-starting small spreading everywhere but in the middle a girl with platinum blond hair was standing in the crowd at the center, her eyes clear, looking at an average looking boy. The boy looked back, their eyes met and he smiled back.
