Dealing with Naruto's teammates

Lunch break arrived, and I and Naruto approached the desk on which Sasuke and Hinata sat.

Some years ago, Izumi suddenly disappeared from the village.

With Danzo dead, I came to a conclusion.

With Itachi realising the danger of Orochimaru and his Edo Tensei, must have used Amaterasu on him, and maybe even Totsuka Blade if he has it.

Afterall, he is willing to kill Danzo, so Orochimaru is another matter.

But, aside from og Sasuke's other MS ability, Amaterasu is the most useless MS ability. And Orochimaru would have probably resurrected using another vessel.

That guy is a cockroach.

And Izumi, while talented enough to become a Chunin by the age of 12, unless awakened Mangekyo Sharingan, would not be able to resist Orochimaru taking over her body.

Well, while this is unexpected, it is not entirely a bad outcome.

If Izumi didn't awaken MS and Orochimaru took over her body, Sasuke wouldn't even think about going to Orochimaru. Though I don't think Orochimaru won't try to come after Sasuke anyway. Because, Orochimaru wouldn't be able to awaken MS himself.

And if Izumi awakened MS, the situation will most likely be like Hebi Sasuke. And considering she knows about Uchiha clan's plot of coup, even if she goes crazy, it will either be killing Itachi, or typical destroying Konoha.

I have already taken countermeasures so that Naruto doesn't fall for a genjutsu. And even if he does fall in it, I can wake him up from it.

Unless it is an OP genjutsu ability.

That's why, I have been cautious with my 'predictions'.

I hit my head after slipping in shower, and 'lost' my abilities of a seer.

And knowing that the Hokage Office is most likely filled with White Zetsus, my ability has weakened significantly, and have turned very unreliable.

Just yesterday, I 'dreamt' of Sasuke and Hinata kissing just after graduation. Which is just plain impossible.

Anyway, after Izumi mysteriously disappeared, presumably kidnapped, Sasuke asked me to teach him fuinjutsu.

I asked him to pay 1 kg gold each day and permission to buy the Uchiha clan's compound, but he surprisingly agreed.

Well, he doesn't have much talent in fuinjutsu, especially since he hasn't awakened Rinnegan.

The most complex thing he has learnt is making a sleeping tag.

As for Naruto, while he isn't as talented as me or Karin, and even teaching him needs a specialised hands-on way instead of the easier theoritical teaching, he is still a lot more talented than Sasuke in that field.

And now, I need to severe any ties between Sasuke and us. It is in his nature to rebel against things that aren't in his control.

As I gestured, everyone in the class started to leave. Either because they respect me and want my attention, employment, or simply hate me that they don't want to remain in the class.

Afterall, each year, a lot of people dropped out of the academy. If I wasn't talented in fuinjutsu and Hiruzen wanted me to make me an adult as early as possible by making me a ninja, so that he can control the civilian council more easily, I would have dropped out too.

Well, nepotism rocks.

After Sakura's parents went from being ordinary shopkeepers to be the CEO of my Mall, civilians also shred the concern about the 'Demon Sacrifice' rumour and their fear of Naruto, and convinced their children to develop goodwill from me.

After they left, I brought out the the contract that I made Sasuke sign.

"Alright. I am going to cross out most of the conditions of the contract as fulfilled. You no longer need to take girls on dates or pay money to challenge Naruto. Of course, you can't have any bad intentions towards us, and we will go out separate ways.

I just need you guys to not be a burden for six months until Naruto becomes a Chunin."

I said the last part while glancing at Hinata.

Sasuke sighed in relief. Afterall, I have already gotten a huge part of the Uchiha clan compound. And that only happened after the finances of the Uchiha clan were completely drained.

Hiruzen must have seized a lot of money from the Uchiha clan. Afterall, Hyuga clan gave me 500kg gold and a huge plot of land in the center of market without much thought. How come Uchiha clan only have 1,000 kg gold and some millions of Ryos?

But I don't want Sasuke to turn against Konoha, and Hiruzen is my biggest backer, so I didn't say much. For Sasuke, 1,000 kg gold must be a lot though, since he doesn't know how much gold Hyuga clan gave me casually.

And, Sasuke is probably tired of taking girls on dates. I intentionally chose Hinata, who isn't very annoying, and some other girls who are annoying. So that Sasuke's impression of Hinata is that she is atleast better than the rest of the girls.

But, until he is bound by a contract, he will not develop any feelings for Hinata. So, it is important to let the bindings go and have him miss something that has become a routine.

As I crossed out most of the conditions, he visibly relaxed, and even let out a smile.

But, Hinata was clearly disappointed.

Well, it doesn't matter if a disappointment is disappointed.

Even in the og series, Hinata was an even worse love interest than Sakura.

Claiming that she loved Naruto all along?

As if. If she really loved Naruto, and watched him struggle with loneliness, she should have atleast made some effort to even talk to him.

No. She is just a stalker with fanaticism.

Even when she admires Sasuke for his willpower to struggle so much against Naruto, and challenging him all over again, and even when I am arranging her to go on dates with Sasuke almost every other week, she hasn't made any progress.

Even at being a ninja, she is just plain bad.

"Now, Hinata. Don't be a burden to Team 7. No one is going to risk their lives to save you if you just stay silent and shake. Sasuke is the last Uchiha in the village. Naruto is the only two of the Uzumakis in the village, and he is the most talented ninja in the history of Konoha. And Kakashi Hatake is the only person in Konoha right now who is suited to be the Hokage after Third Hokage retires.

Konoha can make do without a weak Hyuga, but not without any of these three high profile people.

Being a weak teammate will only lead to danger towards my Naruto.

Are you willing to changes or not?"

"I, uhh, ahh, -"

"Yes, or no?"

Under my stare, she could only nod her head.

"Alright. Then, I will help you somehow."

First of all, it is necessary to move her out of the Hyuga clan. Hiashi is obviously a bad teacher and bad influence, and Hizashi and Neji's hostility is certainly not good for this weak mentally challenged kid.

Kakashi is a great teacher, if he is motivated. But only in being a ninja. He wouldn't be able to do much about Hinata.

And well, wouldn't it be great if I have her under my influence, and even her sister, the next clan head of Hyuga clan, eventually?

If anything after Naruto's manga is canon, I might even get future Tenseigan wielders under my influence. Though I am not sure if they are capable of awakening it after transplanting Toneri's cells and then getting Hamura's chakra.

I looked at the two teammates of Naruto one last time, before h*lding Naruto's h*nd and heading to Uzumaki Park to have a celebration in the Ichiraku Ramen Plaza.

Things will become a lot busier from now on.
