The six of them had become quick friends, but when they had tried to befriend Kajirama, Obito, Rin and Kakashi, these four classmates of theirs didn't seem to have the same purpose as them as Kajirama's group were content to talk among themselves. They almost spoke with them during lunch but the academy school bell rang and when they looked back the four of them were nowhere to be seen.
"Asuma, stop being so noisy or else they would catch us." Anko said to the Sarutobi kid.
"I don't get the point. Why won't we just approach them? Why do we have to act all sneaky Anko, Kajirama is my little gō-san like I said." Asuma grumbled as he crossed his arms in front of his chest.
"Shh, stop talking to you two or our cover will be blown." Akio whispered a little harshly while Shitō, the Akimichi child, ate his chips noisily as he watched them.
"I wonder how strong they are. I bet they would be a good fight." Anko said licking her lips a little. The Nara member, Ensui Nara yawned as he looked up at the clouds. "What a drag..." Before zoning in on the scene in front of them. "Wait, where did that Kajirama go?"
They all looked in front of them and realized that Kajirama had indeed disappeared and that Obito was now just standing still and was looking towards where they were hidden with a raised brow.
"You know you six can come out now. We know you have been following us since we left the academy." Rin called out, making the six freeze in place.
"We would appreciate it if you could just come out." A voice suddenly spoke from behind them making them jump out of their skin and turn around to see Kajirama with an amused expression on his face.
"You know if you wanted to watch us or train with us you could have just come out and say it. There was no need to just hide." Obito added as he walked over in front of them. Kakashi follows beside him with a relaxing expression.
The six kids looked a little embarrassed and went a little red.
"Kajirama, these are your friends?" Asuma pointedly said. Which earned him a nod from Kajirama, who responded. "Yeah, Rin and Obito were the ones who I invited on my last birthday, remember them? While Kakashi Hatake here, we just met... Well, we kind of met him already before, but we are friends now along with Rin and Obito."
Asuma thought for a moment before he said simply. "Oh... Alright." Kajirama then officially introduced his friends to Asuma.
From Akio's side his ninken sniffed the air and patted over towards Kajirama.
Kajirama saw the Inuzuka puppy and smiled as he went down on his knees and began petting it. The puppy seemed to enjoy it since it was wagging his tails and had its tongues hanging out of his mouth.
"Whoa that was quick." Akio said as he walked towards them. "I have only had him for about six months and Kamaharu has never taken a liking to someone so quickly before. He must really like you. My ninken's name is Kamaharu by the way." Akio said introducing the puppy, who barked in response.
The ten then introduced themselves to each other properly and after a few minutes of talking and Anko asking whether they could train with them, Kajirama, Rin, Obito and Kakashi shrugged and told them it was fine.
As the six revised what they had gone over that day Anko looked towards the center of the clearing and saw the other four, who they were initially spying on, standing on the center of the training ground.
In the blink of an eye the four suddenly charged forwards towards each other and began throwing punches and kicks towards each other. It was a brawl, although Rin was the only female, she was keeping up with the boys.
They stayed that way for a few minutes as each tried to land a hit on each other. The six of them recognized Obito's way of fighting was that of the Uchiha Clan fighting style, which Akio already knew the hard way.
The four were then forced and stumbled back when Kajirama and Kakashi managed to land a punch on Obito and Rin respectively.
Shaking out of their slightly dazed state the two quickly focused their chakra and made the necessary hand seals.
"Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu[Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique]" Obito called out as he blew out a large fireball that went towards Kajirama in retaliation. The Uchiha's constant training with the help of the occasional tips and guidance from Kajirama paid off as evidently on display from how well he executed his clan's technique compared to a few months ago.
"Suiton: Teppōdama[Water Release: Liquid Bullets]." Rin declared as orb-shaped projectiles came out of her mouth, aiming towards Kakashi. Rin's efficiency with her chakra control was much higher than Kajirama and Obito, which she was proud of as it was the only field she triumphed against her two friends - Kajirama and Obito. The water style ninjutsu she used was a technique Kajirama got for her.
Kajirama retaliated with a fire style of his own. "Katon: Hōsenka no Jutsu[Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu]." He spat eight volleys of fireballs, of which the three miniature fireballs he controlled with his chakra, purposely collided with Obito's fire style as he jumped on to his side to dodge the incoming attack. On his new angle, Kajirama controlled the other five projectiles as it aimed accurately - as it interwoven mid-air - towards Obito, who panicked as he clumsily dodged the incoming attacks from his blindspot.
Kakashi was a bit astonished that Rin was able to execute a jutsu, but he quickly reacted with a series of hand seals that ended with the Snake Hand Sign. "Doton: Moguragakure no Jutsu - [Earth Release: Hiding Like a Mole Technique]."
As Kakashi finished doing the hand seals, he slowly dug through the ground where he stood as if it was made of fine sand, barely dodging the incoming water orb-shaped bullets by a hair. Rin cautiously looked around her, to try and find out where Kakashi would be coming up to her. Seeing that Kakashi wasn't coming up, Rin did another series of hand signs as she then said. "Kirigakure no Jutsu[Hiding in Mist Technique]."
She blew out a cloud of mist that promptly engulfed all four of them, who were sparring on the clearing. Since it was made of chakra, even if Kakashi was an early budding sensor, he would find it extremely difficult to pinpoint where Rin, or any of the other two, Kajirama and Obito were.
The mist caused the view of the four to get blocked out for a few minutes as the six children, who were spectating their mock brawl with awe, tried to make out where they were. Though they knew they were fighting if the sounds they could hear were any indication.
"They are incredible." Shitō Akimichi commented as he watched their sparring bout with each other.
"I didn't think people our age could do elemental ninjutsu. I mean they are so hard to do and the chakra control has to be so precise." Kurenai Yuhi spoke as watched them with a glistering look inside her eyes, which was noticed by Asuma.
"Oh man these four are good. We really need to catch up with them if they are already at this kind of level. I swore earlier that I'd beat that arrogant Uchiha next time we spar." Akio said while Ensui Nara yawned lazily on his laying down position, although his eyes were intently focusing on their four classmates's brawl. Before noticing Asuma and Anko had disappeared, realizing something he uttered with a sigh. "These two... What a drag..."
"Where are Anko and Asuma?" Kurenai also noticed this when he saw the boy who was beside her disappeared as she asked to look around.
"Sōshuriken no Jutsu[Manipulated Shuriken Technique]" A voice called from within the mist cloud. When it did Kajirama, Obito, Rin and Kakashi appeared, as each of them jumped out of the cloud from each side, the four looked a little surprised by the interruption.
The cloud of mist disappeared and they were all surprised to see Asuma and Anko in the middle, Kajirama narrowed his eyes as he identified the eight chakra strings tied to his little uncle's fingertips which at the end of it were shurikens that were attached with the chakra string eight of which stars of shurikens impacting the ground where they were were formally fighting it out.
"Shurikenjutsu?" They all thought while Kakashi and Obito narrowed their eyes at the blackish-brown haired Sarutobi heir.
They were wary of him suddenly because of that insane accuracy he got when he used the shurikens with chakra strings attached, even with the thick mist, Asuma must have quite a knack for it, Kajirama supposed, he sometimes saw Asuma running of towards the forest, so maybe that's where he trained this things.
Anko meanwhile grinned at Rin, the two girls were currently eyeing each other intensely. After they had enough with their staring contest, they sprinted towards each other and began continuing on their Taijutsu spar that had left them a distasteful feeling back at the Academy because of their teacher's interruption, the two girls seemed mutual on what they felt.
Seeing the two girls duking it out again, Ensui, Shitō, Akio and Kurenai held shocked expressions, while Kajirama had a weary and thinking look looking at his little uncle. Asuma scoffed as he returned the look with one of his own. "Kajirama, you didn't think you and your gang were the only ones with tricks up their sleeve did you?"
"I see..." Kajirama responded sagely. "Don't get the wrong idea here though, little Ojiī-san. I didn't mention such things..." After he was done, he didn't hesitate to sprung towards Asuma with a kunai on each of his hands. Asuma smirked seeing his fast approaching figure. "Let's see what you got, little gō-san!"
Akio, who watched them getting all heated up felt himself heating up. He looked down upon his ninken who was wagging his tail eagerly at the brawl that grew bigger. "Let's go join in on the fun, how about it Kamaharu?" He got a bark of thrill in response, which he reciprocated with a grin of his own. After that, they dashed towards Obito, with revenge wanting to inact in the Inuzuka's brash head.
Shitō Akimichi felt his heart pumping wildly, as he slowly stood up from where he sat, he then slowly ran towards the Inuzuka on tow. "Let's go too Ensui!"
"Yeah! Let's go Ensui." Kurenai seemed to have the same mind as her fellow classmates as she joined the Akimichi and Inuzuka.
Ensui Nara seemed to be content with his current position. However, the Nara felt some eagerness seeing all his friends' enjoyment on the brawl. He didn't like it, not one bit, but he was affected by his friends' entertainment, he slowly, like very slowly got up as if he didn't want to leave the pleasure of lazing around. He muttered. "What a drag... It does seem fun..."
-A Month Later-
Some time passed since the nine academy students met each other and the six quickly became fast friends and became an inseparable group.
Since the first training session, the six met up whenever they could and would spar with one another and help each other get stronger.
[A/N]
*You may have noticed, but I made a blunder on the past chapter, I didn't include Ensui Nara, I was so focused on the concept of 9 like the Naruto series that I grew hazy. Nevertheless, I quickly noticed it. Now for those complaining about why this ff is so slow, well, there's a reason from that. Each character is vital, it isn't just some cannon fodder you may have seen anywhere, where characters are replaceable. These ten would bond, and would be featured respectively or entirely on some chapters, they are significant on our MC's development and also the story's ongoing chapters. After all, without friends and bonds - Kajirama, even if he is the main character, wouldn't be able to fight Kaguya on his own. It isn't logical, even Naruto had to work in tandem with Sasuke, Kakashi, Obito, and Sakura, and they have the Sage of Six Path's help for godsakes, that's how freaking powerful that bitch is. I could always use some kind of unexplainable cheats and add that on, but I don't want that, that's the reason why most fanfictions are so op that it's only entertaining because it is satisfying to the imagination, no friendships found, only sex and harem. I would bring satisfaction, but there are more ways than op cheats and some shit like system and Isekai [I don't like those with a passion, ironically I wrote a pokemon fix with it though, haha.]. So bear with the slow progress, and oh! these ten wouldn't just be ten, they would have more friends made as the story progresses.
