Team 8 (Part-6)

Naruto was glaring and pointing Okami eating Ramen for Lunch.

Naruto was gitting so much that is teeth are threatening to break off his face

"Is there something I don't wanna hear about", asked Okami in a monotonous tone

Naruto pointed at Okami, "You betrayer, you said that I can only have Ramen on Sunday night, and you are eating it all-day-long"

"This is something between Adults Naruto"

"You are only 2 years Older"

"..."

"Never mind the small details"

(At Night)

Okami was inside his room, compulsively stretching his outfit and polishing his boots.

Once he was a hundred-percent certain his clothes were presentable, he finally put them on. His outfit was a traditional black uniform worn by most teenagers when attending formal gatherings and meetings, and while, He was just going on the date because he is hungry, and don't have enough money to eat. It doesn't mean he can't dress up, and he isn't stupid by any means.

Asking a girl out, and then turn in rediculous Outfit. It will only be a humiliation to a girl's image.

Besides, There was a good chance Tenten would dress up for the occasion as well.

The simple yet decent uniform consisted of a pair of black boots, black pants, and a black jacket with black buttons.

'When was the last time I had to wear this thing?'

-------

'This must be the one,' Okami thought as he stared at the front door of a house that was right in front of the Shushuya sake store.

It looked pretty humble from the outside. He knocked on the door three times. 'Alright, this is it,'

Soon, the door opened… but it wasn't Tenten the one who was behind it.

Instead, he was greeted by the sight of a giant man with short black hair and a prominent mustache. He was wearing a tucked out, white shirt with its sleeves rolled up and a pair of blue working pants. His arms were big enough to pick up a cow and strong enough to send the same cow flying.

"Yeah?" the man asked with a rough voice.

"Huuh, good Evening sir. Is… Is this where Tenten lives?"

"She's upstairs. Who are you?"

"Okami, No clan or surname, sir. Tenten told me to pick her up here"

"I'm sure she did," the man grunted, not looking like he was pleased with Okami's presence.

"I'm Hirotoko, Tenten's father," Hirotoko said while sticking his hand out for the Genin to shake it.

Okami nearly yelped in pain as soon as he shook Hirotoko's hand. The man's grip was crushing his bones mercilessly, and it took almost all of his willpower not to let out a cry.

He knew a firm handshake was required when a man was introducing himself to another man, especially if that other man happened to be the father of the girl you were taking out on a date, so he tightened his jaw and gave Hirotoko the strongest handshake he had.

If Hirotoko was satisfied by his handshake, he didn't show it in the slightest. He let go of his hand, stepped aside, and gestured Okami to come inside.

"Honey, your friend is here," Hirotoko called out after closing the door.

"Coming!" Okami recognized Tenten's muffled voice coming all the way from her room.

"What are you planning on doing for the rest of the night?", Hirotoko asked

"Well, I was hoping to grab a bite somewhere nice. I also thought Tenten and I could play some games along the way"

"Games?" Hirotoko's gaze hardened. "What kind of games?"

Okami gulped. "Y-You know, like the ones you get to play in-game stalls and get a prize. Ring toss, throw-the-kunai, stuff like that."

"… I see," the man's facial features seemed to soften just a tiny bit, although Okami couldn't tell for sure. "And at what time would my daughter be back?"

'Jeez, am I on trial or something?', Okami thought annoyed.

He could understand that Hirotoko was worried for his daughter's safety and even though she was a kunoichi that could take care of herself just fine, She is still his baby princess, and he had every right to ask him questions, but did he really had to do it in such a scary way?

'At least he's not Ibiki-san. That guy gives me the creeps'

"Actually, I was hoping to land an agreement with you, sir. At what time would you like to have Tenten in your house?"

"I would like her to remain here and not go out at all"

"..."

"Anyways, I'm going to make this perfectly clear: If my daughter isn't here by 10:30 P.M., you and I are going to have some problems. Do you understand?"

"Yes sir. Absolutely,"

"Good"

The sound of footsteps going down the stairs made both Shujinko and Hirotoko to look over their shoulders. The eyes of the brown-haired boy grew wide. It was Tenten, who was wearing a pair of purple pants and a blue sleeveless qipao-style blouse.

*Cough*Cough

Okami just stood there coughing.

"Stop coughing, are you ill or something?", came the voice beside Okami, as her father stood there with an irritating look

"Hey, Okami Kun," Tenten said with an apologetic smile. "Sorry to keep you waiting, I couldn't find my purse"

"It's no problem. No problem at all"

"I was just talking to your friend here," Hirotoko butted in. "He seems to have everything figured out for the night,"

Tenten's eyes brightened in interest. "Is that so? What are we doing?"

"How about I explain everything along the way?" Okami suggested, wishing nothing more than to leave the house and get away from Hirotoko's sight.

'Seriously, what was the man's problem? He was just going out with Tenten as a friend, not propose to her.'

|Yoi Sakana's sushi bar|

"I've never been to this place before," Tenten said as she observed the place Okami brought her to.

It wasn't big, and it certainly wasn't sophisticated. There were only a handful of people inside, including them. That being said, the place wasn't bad at all. It was clean, comfy, and none of the customers looked shady. It was nicely decorated as well. And of course, the fewer the customers were, the faster the service was.

"Do you come here often?"

Okami shrugged his shoulders. "Every once in a while"

-------

(1 Year Later)

One Year passed by since that date, Okami alongside Kurenai did many Recon missions to gather information.

Both making the name for themselves.

In just 1 year she was promoted to Full fledged Jonin.

Okami is genin, because his paperwork does not allow him to become Chunin or Jonin.

That doesn't hinder him though, During this entire Year, He becomes better and Better.

Ten-Ten and Okami got closer as well.

Yesterday, he and Kurenai sensei came from another mission.

And today, New students are being assigned to every Jonin sensei.

He stands on the tree Branch. Hearing the Teacher Chunnin Iruka.

"Team 8; Inuzuka Kiba"

The boy grinned. as his puppy barked.

"Aburame Shino"

The quiet insect boy, sulked.

"Hyuuga Hinata"

She took a subtle look at Naruto; who was watching Sakura instead.

She sighed in disappointment, For she could not be in the same team as Naruto.

"Your Teacher will be Yuhi Kurenai"

Okami who was watching all of this by standing on the feeble Branch of tree that could break anytime... smirked coldly.

"Team 8; Let's see what you got"

snap

The Branch broke and Okami blurred.
