{Naruto} - [[Iruka + Kakashi]] Leaf Jutsus and Cruel Memories- {Naruto} .:: 7 ::.

This one is dedicated to madison6! Oh and Yune too and Flame-dancer as well as everyone else who has messaged me!
OK on with the story!

"WHAT!?" you scream, your eyes popping as you looked at the Hokage. He looked at you pained and tried to calm you down. "Calm dow-"

"I will not CALM DOWN! YOU MADE ME A NIZE-RANKED NINJA! WITHOUT MY PERMISSION!? WHY!? WHY!? WHAT DID I EVER DO TO YOU!?"
You looked at him furiously and then wait for him to speak. "_______, I know I should have asked you but you are the third person in four centuries who have passed a Nize exam. Don't you see your potential?" You frowned, your eyes filled wit bewilderment and sorrow.
"Why Hokage? I don't want to be a shinobi, damn it!" you snapped frustrated, Iruka wrapped his arms from behind, pulling your back into his chest and whispered soothingly in your ear. "Hey, hey calm down ok? You're allowed to quit." You nodded slowly and then almost reluctantly- he released you.

The Hokage caught the look that Kakashi threw at Iruka, and then he looked at you thankful that you had calmed down.
"What Iruka said is true; you may stop being a shinobi when ever you wish it. Please think about this, a Nize exam has tested all qualities known to man too many for me to list but still... being a Nize-ranked ninja commands the highest respect. I will let Kakashi and Iruka to teach you what a genin, chuunin and jounin must know. Now Kakashi and Iruka, please wait outside while I speak privately to ______." The two men obeyed the Hokage and stayed outside.

You looked at the Hokage sadly, feeling hurt that he pushed you into this, he knew how you were feeling as he said, "I know this was unlike of me but believe me this is for the best... or I hope it is. I am your guardian after all am I not?" you nodded sighing
"Kakashi and Iruka have further persuaded me that you need no more training so from today, this week you shall teach the Chuunin about nature, next week you will do the jounin, the week after that the teachers will teach their children and you shall teach at the academy but I will need you for the coming exam. Tell no one of this including the other jounins but in four months time there will be a chuunin exam. You will help me in that, now please go and tell Kakashi and Iruka that I wish to speak with them." You nod and smile, before walking out of the room.
"The Hokage wants to speak to you both" you announce with a light smile, they looked at you surprised. "I'm going home now. See you two later ok?" you kiss them both on the cheek before walking away singing to yourself.

"Close the door." Hokage's command was simple. Iruka obliged him and swiftly closed it then he turned back to look at the serious Hokage. "It has been quite a while and I have been taking care of _______. I have now noticed something else, she unknowingly has two admirers."
Both Kakashi and Iruka flushed, they both looked down. Hokage smiled thinly, "_______ is a strong young woman, now she is a Nize-ranked ninja, you will both be teaching her. I understand though, _______ is a beautiful woman with an attractive personality. When she was younger and lost her parents she had another sister who is currently a missing Nin." Both men nodded hearing all of this before.
"________ had to endure the pain of her younger sister being more beautiful than her although ________ was kinder and much better company, she does not realize that her sister left out of jealousy of her older sister. I ask you not to hurt _______ because you both must unite to help protect her from the Akatsuki. You may go."


You had never thought of how fun teaching people your age and older than you was. Some were quite reluctant to learn from you but the rest were interested and wanted to see what you were capable of. However you were really impressed at how quickly they had gotten the hang of it all. Iruka had impressed you most because he managed to lift the waterfall half way up all by himself for about two seconds then he let go.
Right now you were taking him home because he was dripping wet. "You're soaked." You say pulling his forehead protector and letting it snap back. He rolled his eyes and didn't even flinch so you pouted. "Hi Kakashi!" He looked up and grits his teeth.
"You're wet." Kakashi commented lazily making you laugh and Iruka growl in annoyance. "_______, I've been looking for you. Here you are." He handed you a small black folded thing, wrapped neatly with white string. You took it and took off the string, and then you unfolded the black thing. "Oh my god, it's a forehead protector!"
You laughed and then look at the symbol, admiring it for a moment. "Go on then, wear it." Iruka encourage you, he looked at Kakashi with a friendly smile both men beamed at seeing your happiness on what they considered a normal thing.
"Oh my days!" you squeal and then try to put it on; you ended up covering your eyes and putting it on inside out. "Did I put it right?" you asked pulling at it.
Iruka chuckled while Kakashi just burst out laughing. "It's inside out." Iruka said quietly grinning to himself; you sigh and take it off, flip it back right and then wear it again. The forehead protector once again slipped down to cover your eyes.
"At this rate I'm going to be blind." You mutter and then pull your hair back so it covered the back of the protector then you fixed it firmly on properly. "Am I right now?" They both nodded smirking at each other; you look at both of them slowly and fearfully.
"Why... are you looking at me like that?" you say backing away from them both.
"Well... usually when there's a new jounin or chuunin, they're not totally chuunin or jounin until the proper induction test is held; now this is especially for Nize-ranked ninjas." Iruka began smiling evilly at you; Kakashi smirked and continued, "So for Nize-ranked ninjas their induction tests are even more special..."
You started to notice that the two were walking forward as you stepped back. Then your nerve failed you and you ran off screaming, "GO AWAAAAAAAAY!"


"Let-me-go!" you grunted and struggled to kick Iruka's face. Basically both of them had caught you, tied your arms, and then hoisted you up in between them, with Kakashi holding your shoulders and Iruka gripping your feet together.
They chuckled and you began to whimper as you saw a pool of mud up ahead. You kicked again and screamed as Kakashi let go of you but then with a devilish smirk he caught you again. They finally stopped and began swinging you slowly then fast and faster.
Well if I'm going down, I'm going to take these two with me! You thought determinedly,
after all I'm not a Nize-ranked ninja for nothing
.
They released you but before you went flying, you quickly wrap your legs around Iruka and use your hand to grip Kakashi's shirt then the three of you went flying and went into the mud.

You gasp and groan in disgust at the oozing mud, which came up to your shoulders. You look around and laughed loudly at the shocked looks on their faces. Kakashi and Iruka looked at each other and then both of them glared at you.

"Uh-oh..."

You screamed and tried your hardest to move as swift as you can through the thick mud.
Kakashi and Iruka just cut through the mud like it was water but you manage to get out in time then ran as fast as you can, eventually Kakashi appeared in front of you and Iruka stood behind you. "What?" you say defensively "You two chucked me there in the first place." You dance around trying to get rid of the mud. Kakashi laughed and so did Iruka. "We can't go home caked in mud." Iruka said frowning, Kakashi nodded and then you gasped.
"YOU PIGS! You were going to take me and embarrass me in front of the whole village weren't you!?" you accused them both and pointed a finger at both of them. They both nodded unashamed you sigh and roll your eyes.
"Well cough up." They looked at you surprised. "If I'm to summon three portals at once to three different locations then I'll be drained of half my chakra." You explained patiently then you grabbed both of their hands. You didn't see them blush because you had your eyes closed.
"OK so I'm going to nick some of your chakra ok? I can't make portals into people's homes unless they give me some chakra willingly." Your hands began to glow blue and then Iruka and Kakashi close their eyes feeling a slight change in their chakra.
Finally they opened their eyes and see three black swirling portals in front of them. "See you guys later when you stop smelling like pigs in the mud!" you call and then dive head-first into yours.
Iruka and Kakashi both smiled at each other and then froze. All day they had been like good friends intending to protect their friend. Now that she was gone they were back to being rivals, looking at each other coldly they stepped into their own portals. Each man longing for a bath.

The next day Iruka had told you to meet by a hill so you could continue your training of learning all about genin and chuunin. He was teaching you how to make shadow clones which were a bit difficult. Eventually you managed to make a clone but it was the Hokage-in-a-dress clone.
You look guilty as Iruka burst out laughing "Whoops, I think... I uh wasn't concentrating?" the Hokage clone glared at you and then vanished. Iruka meanwhile was laughing his butt off.
"What ever you do don't tell Hokage or he'll murder me... and you." You added as an after-thought. He finally sobered and became calm again but he was still grinning. "That was pretty good for a beginner. All right enough of that, now I'll teach you a jutsu, this is a special favourite of mine..."
You spent most of the day learning some jutsus but were having particular difficulty in a certain one. "Razor sphere leaf jutsu, my butt." You mutter the only thing that happened was a slight breeze blowing away the leaves harmlessly. Iruka chuckled and said, "It's the way you position your hands." You scowl making him laugh again then he came from behind you, he pressed his chest against your back making your heart speed up a bit then he moved his arms around your shoulders and positioned your hands properly.
Iruka moved his lips to your ear and breathed, "Now repeat the jutsu again and concentrate." You swallowed and followed his instructions, and then you become excited as the jutsu began to work.

"It's working! It's working, it's... is it supposed to be doing that?"

You began to panic as the leaves began to spun faster and faster and you knew they were razor-sharp plus they were coming your way. He wrapped his arms around your waist strongly and then leapt out of the way holding you to him. Then the leaves stopped blowing and now you were feeling very sheepish.
"Heh... sorry I almost got you killed." You say scratching your head feeling even more embarrassed because of the amused smile on his face. "I think we should call it a day." He said after a long silence, you nodded eagerly, "That is a good idea."
He chuckled and then took your hand and led you towards the village.


"This is BORING!" Naruto announced loudly and flung a radish away. You caught it quickly and look startled. "Eh so this is your D-ranked mission?" The three students looked up at you from their weeding looking pleasantly surprise; Kakashi lowered his book and smiled at the sight that Iruka was not with you. "Hello sensei, have you finished your training?" Sakura asked taking out another handful of weed.
You nodded and reply cheerfully, "Yes I learnt how to do some jutsu but then there was this special one which almost killed me and Iruka but he saved us both." You say and then jump over the fence catching a handful of cauliflower that Naruto just threw.
"Umm Naruto, you're pulling up vegetables." You said earnestly and look around sadly at the vegetable patch. He turned pale and began digging furiously. You walk over to Kakashi, sit down next to him and watch Naruto with interest. "What is he trying to do?" you ask Kakashi keeping your eyes on Naruto, Kakashi shrugged and then watched you out of the corner of his eye. Sasuke stopped pulling the weeds and looked at you both disguising his interest.

He knew that both Iruka and Kakashi liked you but you had no clue. He smirked and returned to yanking out the weeds again.
"NARUTO!" Sakura screamed as a thick clump of dirt hit her face.
He finally stopped and then ran around the garden and the street picking up all the green things he could find then he dumped them all into the hole. You and Kakashi continue to watch him as he filled up the hole again.
"There! You can't tell the difference!" He said jubilantly and looked proud of himself. You lean against Kakashi giggling at his pleased face. "Naruto you've just made it worse." Kakashi said lazily making you laugh again. Naruto looked crest-fallen so you stood up and went over to him, Kakashi wished you could've leaned against him for a bit longer then he called out amused, "Aren't you interfering with their mission?"
You looked up and smirked then you knelt down in the dirt beside Naruto. "What the Hokage doesn't know won't hurt him. Besides he owes me anyway." You help Naruto dig up the edible greenery, and then you help him put them back. "This is slow." He complained, looking utterly defeated, you felt sorry for him so you picked up some dirt tenderly and ask it to help you then you released it.
At once shoots rose from the ground taking all the vegetables and putting them in the right place. After a while you stood up and then told Naruto to carry on weeding.

When you returned back to Kakashi he handed you a canteen of water, you take it gratefully and wash your hands with the water then hand it back to him.
"Looks like Iruka went soft on you." Kakashi commented making you look up at him startled and slightly nervous. "What?" but you knew where he was getting at, "I swear to god Kakashi, if I get killed in your training then I'm going to haunt you for the rest of your life!" you threatened him, he smirked and then answered, "Two words. Hard luck." You snatch the canteen of water and throw the water in his face. You were about to jump up but he grabbed you, knocked you down and clambered on top of you.
"Now that wasn't nice." He said smirking; you squirmed as the three students looked up in surprise. "Get off me Kakashi." He lowered his face and said huskily, "I like this position." Your heart began to hammer wildly while you looked up at him in surprise.
"GET OFF HER SENSEI!" Naruto roared and threw a hard turnip at Kakashi's head. It bounced off harmlessly but you giggled at the shocked expression on his face.
Naruto's kind of over-protective." You explained and then Kakashi got off you, allowing you to sit up. You wipe off the bits of grass glaring at Kakashi but he was busy staring at Naruto.
"Did you just throw a turnip at me?" he asked, Naruto turned red and immediately pointed at Sasuke. Sasuke glared at Naruto and went back to his work, you lay a hand on Kakashi. "Are you hurt?" You asked trying not to giggle; he rolled his eyes so you hug him. "There, there Kakashi." You released him when Naruto was glaring daggers at Kakashi making you laugh.



"I-can't-do-this!" Kakashi raised an eyebrow; he was teaching you how to use a kunai, you had protested saying that you knew already but apparently he wanted to teach you some fancy tricks. Right now you were pinned against a tree unable to move your hands or feet, the kunai was buried next to your head. "Yes you can do this." He said patiently "Just think." You stayed still for a moment and then used your feet to push you a little higher; you used your teeth to grab the kunai and tried to slash Kakashi.
He leapt back with a smile "Good, that's very good." You gasp for breath and lean against the tree for support. "You weren't kidding when you said Iruka went soft on me." You muttered and then grip the kunai firmly. Kakashi then vanished and reappeared behind you. "This is payback for the waterfall."
You stopped for a moment and then laughed at the memory. When you were teaching the jounins Kakashi was annoying you because he was being so lazy and refused to do anything you asked him to.
Eventually you told him to lift up the waterfall right at the end while everyone else had managed to lift it up, he tried and tried but all that happened was that he got wet and it became harder to stand on the slippery wet rocks.
Afterwards he came out unsuccessful, embarrassed and drenched. When everyone went home he realized that the reason he couldn't lift up the waterfall was because you were suppressing it. It was a pity that Kakashi didn't find the experience amusing, ah well.

You felt his hands grab your hands from behind so forcefully that you were unable to use them. "Can't we just go back to basics?" you say pleadingly "I still can't aim." Kakashi stayed still for a moment and then relented.
"All right then. Let's work on your aim." He said sighing; you grin as he released your hands and moved away. "All right because your aim is pathe-" you cough loudly and give him a very strong glare. He blinked and then continued, "We'll aim for that tree."
Your eyes widen and you scream, "NO I WON'T! AAARGH!" you ran and stood in front of the tree protectively saying quietly, "Don't worry." Kakashi rolled his eyes feeling exasperated, god why did he like that tree-hugger?
"All right Kakashi, I'll let you in on a little secret. You've heard of all those myths and legends of woodland and nature spirits right?" Kakashi nodded feeling impatient.
You said quietly, "Well I can see them."
He froze and looked at you with his visible eye widening. You look down feeling slightly embarrassed. Only two people knew this Iruka and the Hokage. "The Hokage already knows and so does Iruka, I was planni-"
Kakashi interrupted you curtly; "You told Iruka but you didn't tell me?" you look even more embarrassed. "I didn't tell him, he over-heard me talking to Hokage. Then he confronted me but I was goin-"
"What so now you can't trust me but you can trust him?" He said coldly shocking you. "That's not true!" you say angrily and look at him straight. Kakashi just glared at you. "I wanted to tell you both but you already thought I was weird. Then Iruka found out and well..."
"You thought that it was ok if I was left in the dark." Kakashi said icily "It doesn't matter though. So long as Iruka knows everything is perfect." You flinched at the tone of his voice and with a final harsh glance he disappeared.




~*~*~*~Memory~*~*~*~

Your eyes widened on horror and you leapt back swiftly, your hand flying to your mouth. "I-Itachi..." You whispered feeling the cold stone wall against your back. His blood-red eyes captured your eyes for a moment before travelling up and down.
"You have changed." His simple emotionless statement made you get angry and when you were angry you held no fear. "Haven't we all?" you replied coldly, your feelings for him that were roughly pushed to the surface were shoved back down again. Itachi's red eyes became dark again and he smirked holding his hand out. You looked at him confused not sure what to think. "You're confused." His voice had become strangely softer. "Come with me."
You stared at him, hostility, rage, hurt all forgotten. "What?" you whispered staring at his outstretched hand refusing to believe your ears. "Come with me." He repeated "Join the Akatsuki, join us. I'll teach you to be strong. Come back to me." That last comment brought back your rage.
"Come back to you!? You are the one who left me! You killed your entire clan including your parents, and for some sick reason you let Sasuke live. Why do you want that child to suffer? So he'll lose his life, his childhood trying to find you and kill you? For what reason!?" you shouted angrily, his face remained stoic as you continued "and do you know what else? Sasuke thought I was in league with you! I convinced him that I wasn't and ended up wiping him memory. So Itachi you have your answer, I can't join Akatsuki." You trembled as you tried to control your anger, finally you felt yourself growing calm.
You looked at Itachi and your eyes wavered in fear as you noticed that he was now just a step away from you, you pressed harder against the wall looking for a way to escape. Itachi's dark eyes held something... disturbing in them; this only made you press against the wall harder until you could no longer press back.
Itachi stepped forward taking away the space between you both, now his body heat was radiating onto yours. "You can't? Or won't?" you look up at him defiantly, you were afraid but you weren't going to let him push you around like that. "What do you think?" you replied coldly, you gave out a small gasp as Itachi pressed his body against yours.

Memories begin to flash by... intimate ones "It has been so long since I have felt your warmth..." Itachi murmured into your ear. "So long..."
You whimpered as he drew his red and black cloak around you both, pressing the edges firmly against the wall on either side of you. You try to summon a portal but you didn't have enough chakra for some reason. Itachi chuckled softly "you will not summon any portals." He whispered as though reading your mind. "You cannot because your mind is swamped with extreme emotions and you cannot be calm. Was it not you who told me that to summon a portal you need a clear mind? You are too fearful and worried. You cannot escape."
You swallowed and look at the man you had once loved, you search his eyes for a sign that your lover was still there. "Why did you change Itachi?" That simple question startled him; your own eyes began to fill with tears. "What made you become what you are now? I loved that man, Itachi Uchiha, the pride and joy of the Uchiha clan. But you..." your eyes began to shine with tears that slowly came down one by one. "You are a merciless killer, who has no emotion, no heart..." The urge to wipe away your tears was so powerful it shook him.

"My lover Itachi Uchiha is dead. He'll never come back, I loved him. I still do! But I don't love you." Itachi began backing away from you, his dark eyes trembling.
No... no." he said jerkily refusing to hear these words. You began to sob quietly "You are a stranger." Itachi flinched at these words. A long silence passed, during which Itachi raged at himself for allowing him to let these words get at him. Itachi hardened, sweeping away all his emotions.
"One day I'll come back. Then you'll see how strong I will become and you will come with me. I swear it you'll come whether or not you choose it."
You look at him, your eyes shimmering then Itachi swept back his cloak and walked away never turning back. You slumped against the wall shaking in your tears.

~*~*~*~ End of memory~*~*~*~




Naruto stood by the door unsure if he should go in. he heard you have a shower which would have been normal but it was two in the morning then he had heard the quiet sobs. He gave you enough time to come out of the shower and go back into bed before coming to your door. You finally look up and smile at the blond-haired child.

"Hello Naruto, come in." He looked so adorable in his cotton pyjamas and cute little hat. Naruto looked meekly at you and then came in slowly. "_____-sensei? I..." he trailed off blushing slightly seeing you in your nightgown. Then he continued "I heard you cry and I wanted to see what was wrong." You smiled again and gently kissed the boy's cheek, and then you pulled back your bedcovers inviting him to come in.

Naruto eagerly went in and then looked at you expectantly. You sigh and say softly, "I was just thinking about my loved ones that I had lost." Naruto looked at you in surprise and then nodded. "Oh ok sensei. Sometimes I wonder about... about my parents. You understand me right? Not having your parents when you're growing up."
You nod slowly and then hug Naruto. "So does Iruka-sensei." Naruto said muffled you laugh and then remembered what he had told you.
That an old couple thought Iruka was your husband and Naruto was your son. You sigh and kiss his cheek again. "All right then from tomorrow we'll spend the whole day happy as can be!"
