Rating: PG13
Summary: Uzumaki Kushina has run away, not wanting to become the next jinchuuriki. The deadline is coming up and they need to find a new candidate quickly because they won't be able to find Kushina in time! Thankfully, no one else could be a better substitute candidate than a time-tripping-former-jinchuuriki Uzumaki Naruto who happens to be Kushina's long-lost-fake-twin-bro-but-who-the-hell-cares. Also, he looks way too pretty now and now understands why Kushina said sorry to him that time. He really hates being mistaken for a girl all the time, damn it!
Notes: short scene follow-up to this part
Schoolyard Brawl
Uzumaki Naruto almost could feel his teeth cracking under the strain as he gritted his teeth, restraining the urge to punch the boy in front of him. He reminded himself once again that it wasn't worth getting another detention on top of the other ones he already had for his other misdemeanours (usually pranking and truancy), even though it was really, really tempting to break the arrogant Uchiha Fugaku's nose again. God, he was really a lot like his future younger son. He was also only a child while Naruto was actually in his late teens despite looking the same age - goddamnit; he really hated looking like a child!
"Fight me, Uzumaki Naruto! I'll show you the might of an Uchiha!"
For some reason, Fugaku kept seeking him out during recess every day for a duel, in order to "restore his family honour" or some bullshit. Naruto often tuned him out but it only made Fugaku even more insistent and annoying, like an annoying housefly that wouldn't get out of your face. Ugh. Maybe he shouldn't have punched Fugaku on the first day he joined the Academy.
Turning his head away and taking out a cherry-flavoured lollipop from his pocket, he unwrapped it and popped it into his mouth as he mused on his next prank to top his previous prank. (He'd given the Hokage Monument a drag-queen makeover and caused the Council a collective coronary. Mito-baachan had given him an approving wink and said that it was really accurate. He didn't really need to know that the founders had dressed in drag before.) He wanted to be expelled from Academy, damn it! Going through Academy again was cruel and unusual punishment when he was already Hokage for crying out loud! But nooooo, The Academy still wanted him and even praised his pranks as signs of a genius shinobi, even as they disapproved of them at the same time. If only they had been so positive and supportive in his real childhood.
"Are you too chicken to fight me?"
But well, there were still some good things about his current situation. He couldn't deny that he really enjoyed being with his young father-to-be, Namikaze Minato in class. It was quite an eye-opening experience to see the young Minato learning how to handle weapons for the first time (read: he was damn clumsy and had almost stabbed his foot, a far cry from the competent genius shinobi he would later become). Minato was also such a bookworm. It was encouraging and inspiring to learn first-hand that Minato hadn't always been perfect and had worked hard to become the Yondaime Hokage.
"Naruto, fight me!" Fugaku's voice had a distinct whiny undertone now. Rolling the lollipop in his mouth and savouring the cherry flavour, Naruto finally looked at him and asked simply, "Why should I fight you? There's nothing in it for me."
Fugaku blinked dumbly, not expecting the question. He floundered, "Be-because I said so! I'm Uchiha Fugaku, heir to the Uchiha Clan and you're just a nobody!"
"He's not a nobody!" A familiar voice shouted indignantly behind Fugaku. Ah, Minato had turned up. From the bench, Naruto greeted him with a wave, "Hi, Minato."
Minato gave him a nod of acknowledgement as he stood in front of Fugaku with a frown. He said, "You should stop bothering Naruto-san during recess! He doesn't want to fight you. Even if he did want to fight you, it's against the Academy rules to fight outside of taijutsu classes!"
"Stay out of it, you sissy! Naruto's not a girl and he doesn't need your protection!"
Fugaku angrily shoved Minato and that caught everyone's attention in the backyard. Minato managed to keep his balance and Naruto was alarmed to see a snarl cross his usually friendly face. Uh oh. Fugaku had somehow just made him very mad this time even though he had called Minato sissy several times before. Wondering what exactly had set Minato off, Naruto hastily caught his sleeve and tried to calm him down, "Hey, Minato, it's okay. I can take care of myself-"
Minato ripped his arm away from Naruto's grip and immediately punched Fugaku as he shouted, "I. Am. Not. A. Sissy!"
Growling as he clutched his red nose, Fugaku immediately retaliated with a leg-sweep that knocked Minato to the ground. By then, a crowd already formed around them and chanting, "Fight! Fight! Fight!" Naruto wasn't surprised to hear that Inoichi and Tsume's voice were the loudest.
Minato rolled to his feet, his white jacket smeared with brown dirt. He clenched his fists and his eyes were icy. Fugaku moved into a guarded stance opposite him, completely forgetting about his original target, Naruto. Within a blink, they were embroiled in a brawl, kicking up dust and the Academy students cheered them on. Naruto had a very bad feeling about just where this was going…
"HEY, WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?" Tanaka's familiar voice bellowed. Everyone froze, including the brawling Minato and Fugaku. Minato and Fugaku immediately sprang apart, looking very guilty. Tanaka strode across the yard, the crowd immediately dispersing to make way for him. When he realised that it was Minato and Fugaku responsible, he looked surprised. But when Tanaka saw Naruto innocently sitting on the bench, he rolled his eyes and muttered, "Should have known…"
"It wasn't Naruto's fault, Tanaka-sensei!" Minato immediately protested, "It was Fugaku's!"
"Hey! You punched me first!" Fugaku shouted. Minato turned to face him and retorted, "You shoved me and called me sissy!"
"You interrupted me!"
"You were bullying Naruto!"
"No, I wasn't!"
"Yes, you were!"
"No, I wasn't!"
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
Naruto couldn't help but laugh loudly, finding the entire situation ridiculous. Grinning slyly around his lollipop, he said, "You sound like an old married couple! You should kiss and make-up!"
"No way!" "Ew!"
Both Fugaku and Minato immediately gagged and scuttled away from each other as far as they could before Tanaka-sensei grabbed their collars. Tanaka-sensei shook his head and said, "You two are in detention after school, regardless of who started it first. It's against the rules to fight outside of taijutsu classes."
"…Yes, sensei." The boys glumly said as they strained far away from each other.
The bell rang. Tanaka finally let Minato and Fugaku go so they could return to class along with the other students. Naruto got up, still mirthfully grinning but before he could go back in, Tanaka placed his hand on his shoulder and said with a bemused smile, "You…are really something, kid."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Nothing. Go back to class." As Tanaka watched Naruto stroll back to class, he thought with mixed feelings of amusement and horror, "You just had the best two students, Minato and Fugaku, fight over you without even trying. Any girl would kill to be in your situation. I can't imagine what it's going to be like with hormones involved later on. Thank god, I'm not going to be teaching your class again after this year!"
Fin.
