Uzumaki Naruto's Prodigy!:
The Apple Never Falls Far From the Tree!
Uzumaki Amaya coughed as chalk dusted filled the room. A thirteen year-old academy student, she had two whisker-like marks on each cheek and black hair. She was thankful for the blindfold she wore it was sheer enough to let her see others but no one to see her eyes. She always felt embarrassed about them and others expected great things from her because of the bloodline she had inherited from her mother. Amaya had received the Hyuuga blessing of the Byakugan eyes, albeit she had a small dark ring where her pupils would be, however her father's genes showed through as her eyes were a bit slit like a fox's. "Amaya you're spacing out again.", Iruka said.
Amaya snapped back to focus. "Sorry Iruka-sensei.", she said cleaning the erasers again as more chalk dust filled the room. She began to mumble, "Stupid bunshin no jutsu. Why would I need to make a stupid clone anyways.", Amaya grumbled. Daddy's not going to be happy about this. She sighed. Probably going to lecture me about how I should do better. About I should have passed the first time. Wish I could have, then Kaede-chan and I could have been on the same team.
Iruka seemed to notice the change, "That's enough Amaya you can go home now.", he said. Amaya nodded with a small smile running out of the academy. Iruka just smiled and shook his head, "She's definitely Naruto's kid."
Amaya strolled along Konoha not really wanting to go home yet. She passed the Yamanaka flower shop and stopped to look at the flowers. Her eyes caught a specific rose and she shudder. God those were the ones Onikaze tried giving me. There's one good reason to fail. Don't have to meet him tomorrow. Amaya thought shuddering. He even offered to tutor me today
"Good afternoon Amaya.", Ino said walking outside of the flower shop.
"Oh!", Amaya said in surprise. "Good afternoon Miss Yamanaka.", she said bowing. "Sorry but I must be going now.", she said quickly leaving.
Amaya had hurried down the streets until she was walking by herself. She sighed to herself. Dreading to go home to her father. She saw the mountain of the Hokages in the distance. The sixth being her father: Uzumaki Naruto. A stern and serious man. Of course she was told by her mother Hinata and others that Naruto wasn't always that way. "Naruto used to be energetic, hyper and a troublemaker.", Amaya scoffed. "Yeah right what a bunch of horse…..", Amaya yelped as a gray-hair boy came rolling out in front of her. He quickly got up, pushing the large glasses back into place.
"Amaya-chan?", he asked.
"Oh Hiro-kun.", Amaya said. "Strange seeing you out this late."
Hiro looked around. "Training with my father why? Have you seen him?" Amaya shook her head.
"No I haven't seen Kakashi at all today.", Amaya said. Just as she said that an older man with a forehead protector titled to cover his left eye jumped from the bushes.
"Sennen Goroshi - One Thousand Years of Death!", the man shouted as he squatted behind Hiro and jabbed the fore and middle fingers on both his hands into Hiro's nether regions. The three of them stood in silence for an awkward moment before Hiro let out a yelp and was sent flying.
"Good evening Kakashi.", Amaya said bowing.
"Oh Amaya nice to see you.", Kakashi said grinning. Or at least Amaya thought he was grinning. Why does he have the damn mask on anyways? She asked herself. "Have you seen Shinji around?", Amaya shook her head. "Well he's still hiding.", Kakashi said looking at Hiro who was laying where he fell out cold. "Guess they have to try harder next time. Say hello to your father for me Amaya.", Kakashi said waving as his disappeared in a flurry of leaves.
Amaya looked up seeing the sky change to an orange hue. "Shit! It's almost night, Dad's gonna kill me!", she exclaimed running off and jumped into the trees vaulting on all fours from tree to tree. Amaya reached her home and slid inside. She panted slightly and looked around half-afraid expecting her father to pop up. Out of the corner of her eye she saw her mother, Hinata, come into the room.
"Amaya, you're home, what took you so long?", she asked looking worried.
"Oh hey Mom. I stayed after school to help a little and got distracted.", Amaya said. "Where's Dad?"
"Oh your father left to talk with the Kazekage.", Hinata said. "He won't be back for a few nights." Amaya sighed in relief. "You failed your test today didn't you?"
Amaya looked away. "It was on the clone technique. I suck at that."
Hinata laughed a little. "Your father was the same way when he was your age Amaya."
"You're kidding.", Amaya said shocked. "I've seen him trained, he couldn't possibly be better at kage bunshin!"
"But until he learned it he failed the same test three times.", Hinata said. Amaya just continued to stare. "Well dinner's ready."
Amaya entered the classroom early getting her usual seat in the front row next to the window. The extra light helped her see better with her blindfold. Plus she liked to daydream at times. "You seem unnaturally eager today Amaya.", Iruka said noticing her as he counted the seats.
"I'm going to do better this time Iruka-sensai trust me!", Amaya said smiling. She noticed Iruka wasn't so cheerful. "Everything ok?"
Iruka sighed. "There's going to be bigger classes from now on Amaya."
"Why?", she asked.
"I'm not suppose to say this but since I know you so well and it's before school hours. One of the teachers was arrested yesterday after graduation.", Iruka said sighing.
"Arrested? For what?", Amaya asked concerned.
"He was caught with a student. A year younger than you Amaya."
Amaya looked shocked. "Caught with a student? What do you mean?"
Iruka sighed heavily. "This is hard to say, he was sexually assaulting her." Amaya just gasped. "Just don't talk about it, just knowing will get us both in trouble."
"He didn't.", Amaya couldn't finish the sentence.
"No we caught him before he could even expose skin but the girl was extremely shook up. We had to get Sakura-chan and Tsunade-sama to help her. She just couldn't even let male ninja get close without lashing out."
Amaya was about to say something when the door slid open. A boy stood in the doorway he wore a red shirt and black pants and sandals. Amaya the hair color quickly, blonde. The boy also had blue eyes and had his hair in a ponytail. But his build. The kid looks like he's fought every day of his life. He's must be serious about this. Oh great he's coming over here, just what I need, having the overzealous trainer next to me….
"Are you blind?", the boy asked rudely. "From the second I came into this classroom you've done nothing but stare at me."
"No, I'm not blind!", Amaya started.
"Well if you like what you saw you coulda just say something.", the boy said with a smirk.
"Like I would be interested in a punk like you!", Amaya shouted standing up glaring at the boy.
"Well if you weren't undressing me with your eyes they why did you keep staring?". The boy demanded.
"Please, not even in your dreams!", Amaya shouted back becoming irritated. Great just another asshole.
The boy just scoffed. "I could find better on a street corner."
"Fuck you!", Amaya yelled balling up her fist and slammed it into the boy's face.
"Amaya!", Iruka said getting up. Amaya shrank back into her seat.
"It was his fault.", she mumbled.
"I don't care.", Iruka said looking at the boy who held his nose. "Doesn't seem to be broken, not even blood. Now Amaya you're going to be punished for this. Both of you."
"Oh please no more eraser cleaning.", Amaya wailed.
Iruka thought for a moment. "No, you two are going to learn to get along. For the rest of the year you two are going to be sitting next to each other."
"Whatever.", the boy said sitting next to Amaya.
"Uzumaki Amaya, meet Kazama Jing. You two will be seeing each other for a long time.", Iruka said going back to his desk. Amaya grumbled. "Now I have to turn some things in you two play nice.", Iruka said leaving.
Amaya turned her back to Jing pouting. Why me… She wailed in her mind. "Nice hook.", Jing said.
Amaya turned around. "What do you mean?", she asked then stared in shock. Jing's nose was bleeding. Amaya shrugged, "You deserved it."
"Makes sense now.", Jing said holding his nose. "The blindfold, the delay bleeding.", Amaya looked at him strangely. Jing smirked. "You have Hyuuga blood in you. They're the only clan that could use chakra to cut someone opened with a simple punch."
Amaya sighed and looked out the window. "You act like it's a big deal. It's nothing."
Jing mumbled something about no talent when Iruka came back into the classroom.
