Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, if I did Sasuke would have been declared a missing-nin and hunted down.
Summary: After the preliminaries in the chunin exam Naruto discovers a bloodline that covers his biggest weakness and grants him insight into seals with an eventual possibility of becoming a seal master like his father. Credit where credit is due:
1) EroSlackerMicha – Story: Naruto Prince of Thieves
2) Burning Blood – Story: Naruto of the Array
The idea for the bloodline came from EroSlackerMicha and Burning Blood shows just how powerful a seal master can be (also the pint of this story is a romance between Naruto and Anko, and the power to affect seals will come in here). Anyway, hope you like it, and on with the show!
After Kakashi told Naruto that he wouldn't be training him for the finals Naruto stormed off before he could say that he'd found someone else to help him. Kakashi was feeling pretty bad about this, but he reasoned with himself that what Naruto needed the most was the basics, and Ebisu could help him with that. Besides, Neji was unlikely to try to kill Naruto, but this Gaara character was probably going to try to feed Sasuke to his sand, and Kakashi felt he owed it to the memory of Obito to teach Sasuke. Kakashi sighed, and started reading his book, it always cheered him up, and in a few short minutes perverted giggles could be heard coming from behind the mask.
Naruto's dilemma forgotten for the moment Kakashi walked off still reading and giggling from time to time.

Naruto meanwhile was not happy, why does Kakashi-sensei always do this? Naruto thought, as he let his feet take him where they would.
I guess the precious Uchiha always come first, I don't know why it still surprises me, but Kakashi-sensei was a lot nicer when he was Inu-san. Naruto had always known that Kakashi had been one of the Anbu that had protected him when he was younger, and while he had never helped train Naruto in those days he'd always been there. Guess it was just a job and all those meals and stuff he bought didn't mean anything to him.
His line of thoughts being decidedly unhappy Naruto found himself at the doors of the Hokages office. He wasn't surprised. He only ever went three places when he was depressed: to Ichiraku's for some ramen, never go wrong there, to the Hokage Monument to think or just be alone, or to Ojii-san's office.
Naruto nodded to the secretary on duty, some chunin or another who ignored his presence, knowing the Sandaime had standing orders that anyone who tried to stop Naruto from visiting would quickly find themselves guests of Ibiki. When Naruto knocked and heard a grateful, "Enter," he did.
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked shocked to see Naruto, not because he didn't like the young blondes' visits, but because he had knocked. Usually Naruto would just come in and not always by the door. He looked at his window a moment and he thought of the three people who commonly had come in that way over the years: his student Jiraiya, Minato had, and Naruto.
Smiling the Sandaime turned back to Naruto and asked, " How can I help you today Naruto?"
Giving one of his fake smiles he rubs the back of his head and looks around. His eyes pop slightly when he sees something weird. Looking back at the picture of the Yondaime he sees a glow emanating from it. As he goes to touch it the Sandaime looks concerned for a moment, but decides to see what would happen.
As Naruto touches the picture two scrolls pop out and on the outside of both it says: To Naruto, Our beloved son. Naruto looks back to the Sandaime, his confusion obvious, and the Sandaime says, "Naruto, please give me those for a moment."
Naruto does as he's asked and hands over the scrolls. Sarutobi sets them to the side and looks at Naruto, when he pauses, seeing something unexpected. His eyes! So it did activate! Without speaking he hands over a mirror to the confused boy.
What Naruto sees confuses him even more, because his eyes are different now. Around the iris is a swirl pattern and he asks, "What's going on Ojii-san? What happened to my eyes? And are those scrolls really from my parents? If so then why…"
About this time the Sandaime holds up his hands to interrupt, "Slow down Naruto. I'll answer your questions one at a time, but hold up a moment." Sarutobi stands up and does a few hand seals, and his hands begin to glow. He walks to the doors and briefly touches them, then goes to the window and touches the windowsill; finally he goes to the center of his office and touches the floor. As he returns to his desk he cuts his thumb and smears some blood across a small marker on his desk, then the whole room glows briefly, until it looks normal again.
The look of confusion on Naruto's face almost looks like its become permanent and the Sandaime can't help but laugh a little, "Ha, ha. Okay, I'll start with what is probably your newest question since that should be the easiest. What I just did was place a privacy seal on the office, now no one can enter or leave until I release it. Also, no matter how skilled, no one will be able to eavesdrop on our conversation."
Naruto nods, but gets a weird look on his face and asks, "Who would try to eavesdrop on you though Ojii-san?"
Laughing so hard Sarutobi has to wipe tears from his eyes it takes him some time to answer. "My boy, just about anyone. Don't forget that right now there are a great many foreign ninja in the village," Naruto smiles at his own stupidity while scratching the back of his head. "Now then, before I answer your questions I have a request. Once I start I ask that you not interrupt. Can you promise that no matter what you may hear you'll wait until I'm finished before responding?"
A big Naruto smile on his face Naruto nods, "Of course, I can Ojii-san, Believe it!"
Smiling in turn Sarutobi begins, "First of all, these scrolls are from your parents, and the reason they were there is because your father sealed them into his picture here the day the Kyuubi attacked." Here Sarutobi reaches for and lights his pipe taking a quick drag to test Naruto's word a little. He knew it was good, but it also gave him little time to think, he hadn't planned on telling the boy this until he was at least a chunin if not a jonin.
"Yes Naruto, the Yondaime Hokage was your father. He sealed the Kyuubi into his own son because he couldn't ask of another family what he was unwilling to sacrifice himself. Your mother, Kushina Uzumaki from the Land of Whirlpool, died in childbirth on the second day of the Kyuubi's attack. Up till then we had managed to hold the demon back but it was slowly getting closer to the village and Minato knew it was only a matter of time. Sealing the Kyuubi away was the only option and it had to be sealed into a child whose chakra coils hadn't begun to develop yet or it simply would have overpowered the person and escaped. It also couldn't be sealed into anything with less than human intelligence or it would escape."
Taking another pull on his pipe Sarutobi checked Naruto's reaction so far, he seemed to be taking it well, but his mouth almost looked like it should be touching the floor. Sarutobi continued, "Your parents were so looking forward to your birth. They loved you from the moment they found out Kushina was pregnant. You should also know two more things about this. First, your parents were married, but only three people knew about it. I performed the ceremony and your godparents witnessed it, one of my old students and your godmother, one of your fathers. Both of your godparents are alive, but both have reasons why they couldn't be there for you growing up."
"Your godfather is Jiraiya of the Sannin, but as I know you mostly slept through history at the academy, lets just say that a blonde haired blue-eyed boy raised by Jiraiya would be like shouting out to all of your fathers enemies who you were. This is also why can't use your fathers name until you can defend yourself from anyone you come across. Your godmother's name in Rin Inuzuka though she can't claim her family name as the old head of the clan exiled her when none of the Inuzuka dogs would bond with her. She was named your godmother, but didn't know for years. You see she had accepted a long-term, deep cover mission a few months before Kushina discovered she was pregnant. It wasn't truly safe to contact her until you were nearly five years old. She immediately requested to return to raise you, but it wasn't safe at that time. Ever since I've been trying to get her back, but until recently it just wasn't safe enough to risk it."
After another slow drag and exhale and a smile and Sarutobi continues, "However, I have good news. Rin arrived two months ago. She's been being debriefed, and being checked over to make sure she's 100%. Between you and me, the last few weeks she's been rather insistent. Fortunately, the medics she has injured didn't have to go far for treatment," they both had a small laugh at that, neither much liking hospitals.
Hiruzen Sarutobi continued he was glad to see Naruto smiling a real smile for once, it seemed he was looking forward to meeting Rin. Clearing his throat he continued, "Now then, as for your eyes. It's a bloodline you inherited from your mother called the Wakarugan." At Naruto's confused look Sarutobi laughed, "Ha, ha, ha! Don't worry if you've never heard of it before, few have because 24 hours after it first activates your eyes return to normal, but the effect is permanent. Supposedly it has three levels and at each it will be visible again, but exactly what you can expect I'm unsure, perhaps the scroll from your mother will explain it."
Yet another drag on his pipe has Naruto scowling for Sarutobi to hurry up so he can speak again. Right about now he's really wishing he hadn't made that promise, but he always his word, it's his nindo…so he won't speak yet even if he explodes for keeping silent so long!
Seeing this Sarutobi put out his pipe and said, "Now then, the Wakarugan is a bloodline like the Sharingan and the Byakugan in that it involves seeing more than usual. You should know at least some of what the other two do so you should know the Wakarugan is a little different, it does three things that I know of. First, no genjutsu will ever truly work against you again. You'll still need to learn how to dispel them for your comrades' sake, but you just can't be trapped in them anymore. This is the major source of the Wakarugan's power for your family because the second effect of the bloodline is an unusually high level of chakra, which naturally limits your chakra control. The last effect of the Wakarugan is an innate understanding of seals and in some cases the ability to simply remove them. Now I release you to speak, but understand that that's all I know of the Wakarugan."
Naruto starts to speak several times but just collapses onto the couch with his head in his hands. When he looks up he has a small smile on. He seems to be trying to stay calm and Sarutobi isn't really sure what he's feeling. Then Naruto asks, "So…what's in the scrolls from my…my parents?" he closes his eyes as he says parents, like there's just too much emotion in the word.
Sarutobi looks a little concerned about his adopted grandson, and says, "Well, this one," which he passes back to Naruto, "from your Mother is a selection of Taijutsu styles that made her physically able to stand up to just about any foe. Never underestimate the value of surprise, that's something you're already good at, but these styles are so individual that if you can master them all, and if you learn how to change between them during battle your opponent will never know what to expect. Your Godmother should be able to help you with this as your mother had begun to teach her these styles before she left for her mission, and provided her with a scroll similar to this one."
Pausing a moment a the boy looked like he'd just gotten the best present in his life Sarutobi then held up the other scroll. "Now then, this scroll is from your father and contains the instructions for his two signature jutsu, the Rasengan and the Hiraishin, also known as the Flying Thunder God Jutsu. The Hiraishin is also the technique that earned your father the nickname 'The Yellow Flash.' As for this scroll, I don't think you should take it yet, as it would have a higher probability of exposing your heritage, but I'll leave the decision up to you."
Naruto immediately reached for his fathers scroll, but before touching it he stopped and asked, "Do you think my…dad," another pause on an awkward word for him. He sighed and started over, "Do you think my dad would have wanted me to have this Ojii-san?"
Sarutobi paused before answering, "I know he would want you to have those skills…eventually, and I think that the Rasengan would be good for you, but you're not ready for it just yet. Your control is just not there."
Naruto looked sad for a moment, but when he pulled his hand back the scroll was still on the desk, "I guess that means I need to work on my control, huh Ojii-san?"
Sarutobi smiles and nods and Naruto gets up to go, but remembers the seal and looks at Sarutobi, "One moment my boy," and he gets up, does a very fast set of hand signs and places a hand over the boys eyes. "There, now no one will see the change. As for you leaving, I have one or two more things I'd like you to do. First, I want you to look at the privacy seal on my desk and see if your new eyes can figure out how to turn it off without destroying the seal."
Naruto nods and puts down the scroll from his mother to come look at the seal, but he seems to be having trouble and Sarutobi asks if anything is wrong. Naruto quickly explains that he's felt kind of strange since this person attacked him in the Forest of Death. Sarutobi asks for more details and once he understands what happened he asks Naruto to take off his shirt and channel his chakra so he can see the Kyuubi's seal. Fully grasping what Orochimaru had done he tells Naruto and warns him that removing the Five Element Seal is going to hurt.
After Naruto gets up from his short flight across the room Sarutobi notices that the genjutsu he placed earlier is gone and that Naruto's eyes are different once again. Now there appear to be silver highlights in the swirl pattern, where before it was all black. Not saying anything Sarutobi tries to reapply the genjutsu and fails! "Well, it seems you've found the second stage of the Wakarugan."
Being the genius he is Naruto responded with, "Huh?"
Once again Sarutobi presents Naruto with a mirror and he sees the change. Clearing his throat Sarutobi says, "It seems that at this stage genjutsu can't even be used on you." After thinking a quick moment he says, "Try a henge for me…" the smile on Naruto's face was enough of a warning, "Not the sexy jutsu if you please."
Naruto says, "Spoilsport," to which Sarutobi chuckles as Naruto sticks his tongue out briefly then smiles and transforms flawlessly from Iruka into, each member of team 7, and finally into Sarutobi himself, he kept transforming because he felt more solid than he usually does except when using the sexy jutsu.
Explaining this to Sarutobi the old man chuckles again and says, "Interesting, apparently your transforming abilities have become stronger. Very interesting," what he wasn't saying was that a transformation isn't supposed to be solid, but he wasn't quite sure why his bloodline should have done that. He had thought the sexy jutsu was unique in that way, it just proves you're never too old to learn new tricks, he realized.
"Anyway, it looks like you'll just have to where sunglasses until the effect is no longer visible on your eyes. Also, I must point out that the truth about your bloodline and parentage are both Triple S rank secrets that should be kept to yourself for the time being. You should be able to claim your father's name when you reach jonin, and you should be ready to begin training for the Rasengan immediately, and actually begin trying to use it shortly there after. The first thing you're going to need is to work on your chakra control."
"Alright, Ojii-san…so how do I do that?
Sarutobi face faulted at that. After pulling himself up he asked, "What exactly has Kakashi taught you so far?"
Naruto scratches the back of his head, "Well…mostly we work on teamwork, but in Wave he taught us tree-climbing."
Suddenly a little killing intent leaked out of Sarutobi and Naruto blinked and felt a little uncomfortable, as it wasn't directed at him. Elsewhere in the village Kakashi shivered a little thinking he must be in trouble, but after a few moments it let up and he went back to reading his 'Icha-Icha.'
Back in the Hokages' office Sarutobi sighs and says, "There are three basic methods for improving your control. First is the leaf balancing that you learned in the Academy, which like most you probably stopped practicing, once you'd gotten it. That was a mistake. Second is tree-climbing and last is water-walking which I'll get someone to teach you, after that you should be able to begin learning the Rasengan."
"Alright! All right! I'll do it! Believe it!" Naruto said, clearly excited.
Laughing Sarutobi said, "Okay then, before you go lets try this again," and points to the privacy seal on his desk. "Remember, I don't want you to do anything unless you're sure you can deactivate it without destroying it."
Naruto nodded and went to look at the seal from every angle. A few minutes later he touched it and the room flashed and the seal was turned off. After examining it briefly Sarutobi congratulated Naruto and said, "There's one more thing I'd like to test, but it's going to have to wait for tomorrow so go home and rest for the rest of the day. Whether or not you realize it now you're going to need a lot of rest for activating the Wakarugan so when you get home go straight to bed. In the morning I'll treat you to as much as you can eat," which will probably be ramen, not the most nutritional option, but he likes it.
Meanwhile Naruto is jumping for joy calling out, "Yeah! All the ramen I can eat! Thanks Ojii-san!"
The Sandaime Hokage of the Village Hidden in the Leaves was thus reduced a giggling old man at the absurdity. He is so predictable on some things! Ha, ha, ha!
Once he'd regained control he asked Naruto to come back tomorrow once the change in his eyes was no longer visible.
Naruto agreed and the rest of the day went as Sarutobi said it would.

The nest morning Naruto got ready for the day and grabbed a pair of sunglasses to hide his eyes and went to Ichiraku's where he downed 40 bowls! When Sarutobi got the bill he just shook his head and laughed.
Sometime after noon Naruto checked his eyes and found they looked normal again so he returned to the Hokages' office.
When he arrived Sarutobi greeted him and asked him to sit down then he pushed a button on his desk and a Anbu appeared and bowed, "Yes Lord Hokage? What can I do for you?"
"Yes Neko, thank you, please go and fetch Anko for me."
The female Anbu with dark purple-black hair hanging to mid-back and the cat mask nodded and left in a leaf shunshin.
"What's up Ojii-san?"
"Just wait Naruto, remember yesterday I had one other thing for you to check for me with your Wakarugan?"
"Oh, yeah I remember Ojii-san!" Darn I'd completely forgotten about that!
Something on his face must have given his thoughts away though because Sarutobi started laughing and was only just winding down a few minutes later when someone knocked on the door and he called out, "Enter."
In stepped Anko Mitarashi wearing her usual tan trench coat with a high collar, her mesh shirt that left little to the imagination, and her mini-skirt/mesh shorts combo. "Yo, what's up Hokage-sama?"
"Anko, thank you for your prompt arrival. I have something I'd like to try, if we're lucky we can free you from your 'little problem,' but you'd have to be willing to let Naruto here see it. Is that acceptable?"
Anko looked at the kid and then at the Hokage, "Why does the kid have to look at it?" She sounded composed, but the Sandaime could tell she wasn't.
"Well, it's actually Naruto here who has a chance of dealing with it," the Sandaime looked down pulling his hat down and said, "There is also a counter seal that Kakashi has developed but it requires you to be topless for him to apply it." The Sandaime actually blushed thinking about the attractive 19-year-old without her top, what can I say, I'm old, but I'm still a pervert. Maybe she'd let me apply the counter seal if it doesn't work with Naruto's ability?
Anko smiled at how perverts reacted to her looks, she was proud of her body, just the same I wouldn't want a pervert like Kakashi or the old man to put such a counter seal on me, they'd probably mess it up. Still a counter seal, she thought excitedly, that would mean some freedom from this blasted mark!
"So, what would I need to expose for the gaki here?" she asks while pointing at the kid.
"All you'd need do is let him see the mark, if his new ability can do anything all he needs to do is touch it."
Anko thought about it a moment then took off her trench coat and sat down looking at the kid, I don't know what's going on, but if the old man thinks the gaki can do something I'll give him a shot. She crooks her finger at the kid and he steps forward before even thinking about it, "Come here little boy, the Hokage has something he wants you to see."
Naruto stops a few feet from her and shakes his head like he'd been under a spell and looks at Sarutobi, "What's going on Ojii-san?
Anko smirked at the kid; sure he'd be in trouble with the Hokage, but when he smiled at Naruto her look changed and she remembered this was the kid that had been such a loud mouth at the beginning of the second exam. She smiled at the kid; he could be interesting to play with in a few years.
Sarutobi nodded at Naruto, still smiling; "Anko here has a curse seal on her neck that she'd like removed if you can," Naruto nodded and stepped up and began analyzing her curse seal. The Sandaime looked at Anko and said, "This could take some time so you might want to get comfortable."
Normally Anko is really impatient, but for this possibility she could put up for it.
XXXXX
As it turns out it was a good thing Anko had decided to be patient because she was still sitting there three hours latter.
After nearly another hour had gone by though she was about to give up when the kid reached out a touched her. For a moment nothing happened, and then she screamed, and screamed, and just to break up the monotony she screamed some more. The Sandaime was just moving to stop this thinking Naruto had moved too soon, but then Anko got quiet as Naruto staggered away and collapsed onto the couch.
The Sandaime had been smoking his pipe but dropped it when he saw the mark glow and then shatter away, and got a mirror for Anko to see for herself. Once she stopped panting she took the mirror and looked and was so shocked she dropped the mirror, which the Sandaime quickly caught. No use loosing a good mirror, or risking bad luck, he thought, not that I believe in luck, but it never hurts to cover your bases.
He watched as the look on Anko's face slowly changed from shock to a smile as she looked at Naruto. He was utterly unprepared when she calmly walked over to the 13-year-old Naruto and sat on his lap and kissed him quite thoroughly. The Sandaime quickly blew back with a nosebleed when his mind caught up with what his eyes were seeing.
Naruto's only thought was why does she taste like dango?
Anko was thinking, why couldn't he taste like dango? Oh well, can't have everything and he did free me from the curse seal.
A couple minutes latter the Sandaime was getting himself up off the ground and coughed, trying to get Anko's attention. No result, and by this point Naruto had his hands slowly rubbing up and down her back. "Now really Anko, he's only 13 and he might need air soon," the Sandaime said.
Anko broke the kiss, still sitting on the boys' lap with his arms lightly wrapped around her waste, and she smiled down at the boy and then looked over to the Sandaime. "Yes Hokage-sama," she said and got up, but not before one last kiss, a brief one this time, and she lightly nipped his lip as she pulled back. "Thanks gaki," the kiss wasn't too bad either…for a gaki.
She bowed to the slightly stunned Hokage and left, whistling a jaunty tune people who knew her or knew of her spent the rest of the day running away in terror if they saw her. After all, they didn't want anything to do with whatever made the Snake Mistress of Konoha that happy.
Back in the Hokage's office Naruto had a very funny look on his face, like he didn't know what had just happened, but he wouldn't mind at all doing it again, and the Sandaime was trying to pull himself back together from the shock. Sarutobi was thinking, doesn't she know it's not good to mess with an old mans' heart like that? And I wonder how long they would have kept going before they needed to break for air? With that perverted giggle escaped the old man before he could stop it.
Naruto didn't wake from his confused and muddled thoughts until he heard a series of very loud throat clearings from the old man. He smiled a Sarutobi, "What's the matter Ojii-san, do you need a glass of water or a lozenge or something?"
Sarutobi frowned at bit then got a wicked smile on his face and said, "No, thank you Naruto, I was just wondering where you'd gone there, it must have been pleasant with the goofy look you'd been wearing." The both tried to look upset with each other, but they didn't last long before they burst out laughing.
That's how Jiraiya found them when he entered through the window a few minutes later. It took a moment for them to notice him, but he didn't mind, it gave him time to compare his memories of Minato to Naruto, well the boy isn't in as good a shape as Minato was at that age and there's the whisker marks of course. Also, the smile reminds me more of Kushina's; still, there's no doubt the boy is Minato's, Jiraiya had to smile at that, but from what the sensei said he acts more like his mother did. Jiraiya enjoyed that thought, Minato's looks and Kushina's personality.
It was when Jiraiya started laughing at all the fun he could have with the kid that his presence was finally noticed. Sarutobi cleared his throat loudly and introduced the two; "Well it seems your godfather is a little easy Naruto."
This statement caused Jiraiya to look annoyed and a little concerned for a moment, that is until he noticed that the boy didn't look surprised to see him, or to learn that he was his godfather. Sensei must have explained all ready why I couldn't take the boy, he thought.
Jiraiya smiled at Naruto, "Hey kid, glad to see you've turned out so well." He paused for a moment trying to collect himself before continuing, "As you obviously already know I'm your godfather and I was your dad's teacher."
Naruto just looked on blankly for a moment, making Jiraiya nervous, before saying, "Hey! Ojii-san said you might be around and he explained why you couldn't take me in, so I guess I can forgive that," Jiraiya relaxed a moment until, "if you'll train me."
Sarutobi laughed a moment but thought that was probably an excellent idea.
Jiraiya was sputtering with outrage at that, there's no doubt the brat is Kushina's now! How dare he try to blackmail me? Buthe was secretly pleased as well; it was something Minato wouldn't have had the nerve to try at that age. Jiraiya seemed to think about it a while and thought, why not, it should be fun, but I can't let him that he can just have his own way. That sets a bad example.
Jiraiya huffed and chortled, "Kid, what makes you think you're good enough to be taught by the Great Toad Sage Jiraiya?" He said the last with a little flair while striking a pose.
Naruto tried not to laugh at the old man; he really did, but, "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! That was hilarious, do it again!"
Jiraiya was, needless to say annoyed and turned to his old sensei, "Well, he doesn't want me to train him so I'll be going…"
Before he could jump out the window, or even finish his sentence though, Naruto had grabbed his arm, "Wait up old man, no need to be so sensitive, I'm sorry." He released Jiraiya's hand and bowed deeply to hide his smile as he went on, "Would you, oh Great and Powerful Toad Sage Jiraiya teach me as you once taught my father?"
He sounded sincere, but Jiraiya saw the smile, so he stood up straight and took up a thinking pose. "I don't know. I'm still not convinced you're worthy."
Naruto scowled before asking; "Well what can I do to prove myself then?"
Jiraiya thought about it a moment and then described what he wanted, "I want a luscious one with nice curves," and he made an hourglass figure with his hands, all the while with a perverted look on he face. "Get me that in five minutes and I'll teach you."
Now normally Naruto wouldn't have understood what Jiraiya meant, but he had just recently had a very 'luscious one with nice curves' on his lap soundly kissing him, and he put two and two together faster than he normally would have done. Pointing a finger at Jiraiya he shouted, "You're just an old pervert!"
Jiraiya scoffed and said, "I'm not a pervert…I'm a Super Pervert! And now you're down to three and a half minutes kid."
Muttering under his breath Naruto put his hands together and said, "Sexy Jutsu!" and transformed.
The Sandaime blew back with a nosebleed and Jiraiya said, "Kid you're a genius! All right, stay like that, and I'll train you."
Naruto released the jutsu and turned to go, but Jiraiya stopped him, "Okay fine," he pouted, "I'll teach you." To which Naruto shouted out his joy and Sarutobi smiled. "Meet me at the hot-springs tomorrow at 9am."
Naruto nodded and was about to go when Sarutobi stopped him and said, "Remember Naruto, that you should be expecting Rin's visit in about three more weeks. By then the hospital should have released her, and you're going to be her first priority."
Naruto nodded and left with a huge smile.

A few hours go by with Jiraiya going over all the intelligence reports he's gathered since he last reported in. Finally, he cleared his throat, "So sensei, what exactly have I gotten myself into with the boy?"
Then Sarutobi explained about Naruto's skills and why some are so poor while others are so high. He explained what jutsu's the boy could do, and generally how he was treated over the years.
Jiraiya said, "Excuse me, there are some things I just remembered that I need to do," and he bowed briefly and left, leaving Sarutobi somewhat shocked, he didn't think he'd ever heard that tone of voice from his student before.

The next morning, messengers were sent out throughout Konoha to explain to all the parents who had students in the Academy that there probably wouldn't be classes for a few days as all but one of the teachers were in the hospital. When asked how this could of happened the messengers responded that they didn't know, apparently now of the teachers got a good look at their attacker.
Thus that day, and for a few to come, Iruka's class had the school to themselves.
Author's note - Well that's the first chapter of my first ever story for this web-site. A couple of quick notices: This is listed as mature because it provides the most leeway, and while it is a romance that part is going to take some time. The name Wakarugan came from a Japanese-English dictionary I have. Wakaru means: to understand, or to tell the difference, and gan was just added on because of Sharingan, Byakugan, and Rinnegan, it seems all dojutsu have to end in gan. Also, for the purposes of the story all adults are now 5 years younger than they are in the canon.
