Note:This is my first fiction.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
"Okaa-san, Otou-san can I train with you and Naruko and Mito? "Asked a short kid dressed in black trousers with black ninja sandals and a black jacket with white lining over the arms and a couple on the back forming an intricate pattern with a white shirt underneath and an orange whirlpool symbol on the front. He had white hair and amethyst eyes which were seemingly sparkling in anticipation. All in all he looked quite different from his sisters whom were carbon copies of their parents, Naruko looking just like his father, only more feminine and with whisker marks on her face and Mito was literally a mini Kushina she even inherited her fiery temper which made Kushina all the more proud and Minato all the more scared for their future classmates. He pitied the ones who'd try to mock his daughter. This was the young Naruto Namikaze-Uzumaki; he was six years old and the oldest child, even if it was by only a couple of minutes the fact still stood. As for his request, you see his father, Namikaze Minato the yondaime hokage and his mother Kushina Uzumaki started training his sisters two years ago and he wanted to train with them as well because he was frankly feeling left out. Ever since they had started training Naruto found out that he spent less and less time with his family and more time alone in the house or just walking around without much purpose. He still spent time with them when they weren't training although little it was still there until only half a year passed since they had started training. That day his parents had just totally forgotten about him and left him in the house alone while they went out to a festival. When they realized what they had done they apologized to Naruto and promised to make it up to him however that never came and Naruto decided he should take some measures. So Naruto decided to train and read all he could about shinobi and chakra, even if he still didn't manage to unlock it yet, he was still pretty decent in taijutsu and was exceptional in academic knowledge. He thought that by learning he might be able to convince his parents to let him train with them and they'd finally be a family again. However his parents still thought that it was too dangerous to train with his sisters after all what if Naruko and Mito lost control of kyuubi's chakra it would be disastrous. Then an idea struck his father, what if he made him spar with one of them and after Naruto is defeated he'd tell him that he could train with his sisters when he can hold his own against them otherwise they will start their training when he started the academy. Kushina wanted to gently placate Naruto but Minato beat her to it just barely.
"Naruto, how about this if you can win against Mito in a spar, you can train with them if not we will start your training when you are entering the academy, you have three tries on the course of this month you can take them whenever you want" Minato knew he was being unfair in a way but like this Naruto could see that it was too dangerous to train with them at the moment. Kushina silently asked him what was he doing and Minato reassured her that everything will be fine and that if anything happened they would be there to stop them.
"I am sorry Naruto-onii-chan but you can't win as you are right now, please I don't want to hurt you" Mito said as she got into a basic taijutsu stance.
"You'll be impressed Mito-chan ,with what I can do that is" Naruto also got into a taijutsu stance but this was a pretty advanced one which made both Minato and Kushina raise their eyebrows in thought, where did Naruto learn that stance from. The two clashed as Minato announced the start of the spar and surprisingly enough Naruto was holding his own against his sister even managing a couple of hits, but all that is good must end and Naruto soon got overwhelmed by his sister because of her sheer stamina. Naruto had lost but he didn't give up, he was able to keep up with her for some time before he was tired and began moving slower than usual so he deduced that he needed stamina training. He gave his sister a wide grin and said.
"Next time I will definitely defeat you Mito-chan, just you wait" Naruto said as he took off to get some training of his own done leaving his parents shocked at his skills. They hadn't taught him anything, yet he knew some pretty advanced taijutsu stances, however they soon shook their thoughts dismissing it as just a coincidence, maybe he had seen it in a book and somehow got it down yeah that was it.
Naruto ran to his secret training place which was the forest behind their home opposite to where their family was training and did some endurance training like laps or just push-ups until he collapsed. Naruto decided to take a break and leaned on a tree prepared to take a nap.
Naruto's mindscape.
Naruto awoke in a sewer like environment with shallow water on the ground. He walked for some time trying to get a hold of his bearing but got nothing, eventually he found his way to an open space. He didn't get far before a hand on his shoulder had forced him to stop dead in his tracks. Naruto turned around to see a pale skinned woman with delicate facial features in her early twenties. She had very long, sweeping white hair that was surprisingly reaching the ground, noted Naruto. Her eyes were white and her eyebrows were cut short. But the most noticeable features were two brown horns protruding out of her head along with a third red eye on her forehead. As for her clothing she wore a traditional white kimino with tomoes running down the center and edges of the grown. All in all she looked very much like princess to Naruto but also funnily enough like a rabbit especially with her pale skin and horns. In the end despite this situation Naruto couldn't help but laugh a bit at this.
"Mouu, It's rude to laugh at someone you barely met you know?" The person pointed out with a cute pout.
"Sorry, you just look similar to a rabbit" Naruto said without thinking too much. Not too long passed before what he had said downed on him and his eyes grew the size of saucers at his rudeness. "I am sorry I didn't mean to say you are ugly or something I actually think you are pretty and beautiful it's just that I was…. Surprised that is the word" Naruto said and also felt proud that he had managed to save the situation somehow or that is what he thought.
'Cute little one, seems like I was right, even after what he has been trough he is still pure and has a kind heart, this makes it much easier and much harder at the same time' The rabbit goddess thought as she reached with her hand to stroke his cheeks. "It's alright I found no insult in that, but I do appreciate you calling me beautiful it has been centuries since someone called me beautiful" Naruto was a bit uneasy now and also confused, why was this woman so affectionate to him and what does she mean by centuries was she joking and even more so how was all this happening last time he remembered he was taking a nap, where was this? did he die in his sleep and got to heaven?
"Are you a goddess, seeing that I am already dead by the looks of it" The woman blinked and couldn't help but stifle a giggle at his words. "Hey, I died what is there so funny?!"
Reaching a quick conclusion she decided to make him hers, after all she would give him a gift and since no one wanted him even his parents forgot his existence sometimes. She couldn't understand how was it possible to ignore such little boy when he was so cute and innocent, so why not make him hers, by the looks of it he will exceed her expectations and not to mention that the boy just seemed to radiate an aura that felt pleasant to her even if this was not her true body but just a remnant. She hugged him closely and stroke his hair gently, this startled Naruto but he quickly settled into it.
"Listen well Naruto-kun, please don't interrupt me our time is limited I will explain everything in one go alright?" Naruto nodded in consent and they broke apart with her starting her explanation. "My name is Kaguya Ootsutsuki, I was known as the rabbit goddess or the progenitor of chakra, my body is sealed away into the moon you are currently speaking to half of me, only half of my chakra was placed into you when you were born six years ago by me. As for why I did that it is simple, I've chosen you as my son, you are to absorb the rest of my chakra and also gain the most powerful doujutsu in history the rinne sharingan, do not fret though along with my chakra there will come the knowledge of how to use my powers as well. You may know one of my two sons Haguromo Ootsutsuki also known to you as the Sage of The Six Paths" Naruto gaped at this, she was the mother of the one who was rumored to be the one that all clans came from, even he knew that legend as a child but still he kept listening not daring to interrupt her. "Unfortunately he and my other son Hamura are the ones that sealed me, that leads me to one of my reasons as to why I do this, I wish for you to release me from my prison when you can, but however beware as someone or something made itself known as my will, do not be fooled that is only a remnant of the sacred tree Shinju who seeks to gather all chakra for himself. That is how I was sealed by my sons, because he tricked them into believing that I was trying to oppress the people by fear but in truth he was trying to rile them up against me." Kaguya then made a sad smile as she leaned down and kissed him on his forehead. "It seems my time is up, use my knowledge and power well my son and know that no matter what I will always love you" Then she vanished without a trace. As soon as it happened Naruto's head was flooded with memories and information about chakra, history and various things that Kaguya thought he might need, but one thing he felt which was prominent was her love for him, her other sons and surprisingly enough for the world itself. Naruto couldn't help but let a few tears loose on his cheeks as he now knew and saw what his surrogate mother went through. When Naruto looked down he noticed that his right eye had several concentric rings and nine tomoe all black with the eye itself red. This Naruto deduced was the Rinne Sharingan his mother spoke of and also bore on her forehead when he had seen her. He now understood where he was, he was in his mind and his mother had waited for him to come here and meet her so he could get the rest of her chakra. Naruto also understood why he looked so different from his parents, his DNA was different than theirs, and his mother was the first human with chakra so by extent now he was her son fully so it was only natural that he looked more like her than his birth parents. He then focused on leaving his mindscape and on the real world Naruto began waking up.
In the forest behind the Namikaze Residence.
Naruto woke up to see that his real body had undergone some major changes. First was of course the rinne sharingan that was present in his right eye, which was neatly covered by his bangs, which leads to the second change his hair had grown a bit longer not by much but it had grown. (A/N similar to sasuke's one when he is older ,only white in color) Another change was that Naruto had grown a couple of centimeters. However by far the biggest surprise for everyone would be when Naruto would unlock his chakra which he did with ease. As he did so a silvery white chakra was released from his body, this was incredible all in all but his chakra capacity was mind boggling, it was a couple times higher than a bijuu's one but it wasn't malicious instead it was warm and pleasant despite the overwhelming amount of it. Naruto then stopped releasing chakra and walked towards his home only to be stopped in his tracks by his parents who were panicking. Naruto berated himself for not considering that literally everyone who was a shinobi and could feel chakra would sense his one, this place would be packed soon. His parents only looked at him with confusion.
"Naruto what happened, where was that chakra coming from?" Minato asked not even noticing the changes in his son's appearance , his mother didn't fare better either as she looked left and right for anyone in the vicinity. He really didn't know what to feel, should he feel insulted and sad that his parents hadn't noticed he looked different than usual or should he feel thankful that they didn't notice. He opted for something in between as he answered truthfully not seeing the point of hiding it anymore. They would notice sooner or later it was better if only his mother and his father knew about this at least they'd have the decency to keep it a secret or hopefully forget about it as they usually do.
"Sigh, that is somewhat disappointing otou-san, that chakra came from me I would appreciate if you keep it a secret" Naruto said making his parents confused.
"Naruto there was no way that was your chakra, it was at least on par with a high jounin, low hokage level" Kushina said not believing his story, Naruto just frowned and decided to just stuff it and have them do whatever they want.
"Fine, it wasn't mine believe what you want. I am going to sleep, good luck on your search" Naruto added the last part sarcastically knowing that they'd find nothing, no foreign ninja no spy. Minato raised an eyebrow at this but focused on the issue ahead and searched for the 'intruder' but in the end he and Kushina found nothing suspicious and went back dismissing it as just their imagination after all their son which was only 6 years old couldn't have that amount of chakra or so they thought.
A few weeks later Naruto took a walk around the village at night to think about his future actions. 'My chakra is off the charts so I can learn pretty much any kind of jutsu I want, my genjutsu is also good if you include my eye, however without it I have nothing, the most concerning part would be taijutsu, I am barely at academy level with my taijutsu and I can't force my body because that would be a bad idea, I am still a child after all. My best bet would be to wait until I am older and start training my body, until then I should learn as many ninjutsus as I can, I have the ones that mother knew but they are too advanced and would give me away if I use them especially since many of them require a kekkei genkai and me being able to use them would be like putting a big target on my back saying here I am breeding stock for kekkei genkais. I guess the only kekkei genkai that I could reveal is the mokuton since I can argue that the Uzumaki are related to the Senju' such were the thoughts of the young prodigy. He was walking with his mind occupied when someone bumped into him and made him fall on his behind. Naruto silently cursed and looked up to see a ninja that was carrying something or rather someone if the muffled screams were anything to go by. He then noticed his hittae which bore the Kumo symbol on it. He remembered that his father had spoken with his jiji, one of the few persons who actually paid any attention to him, about a kumo representative which would be staying in the village.
"Damn it brat, now I have to kill you for what you saw" The man stated pulling his kunai only to be shocked when Naruto performed a jutsu that would scare him to the core.
"Mokuton: Jubaku Eisoo (lit Wood release: Tree Bind Flourishing Burial)" As soon as he finished the Kumo nin was bound by tree roots unable to move. Naruto gently freed Hinata from her bindings and checked if she was alright. The poor girl had been probably kidnapped for her kekkei genkai by the looks of it. 'Ahh she is Hyuuga, that nin was probably after her byakugan, so they are the ones who have gotten mother's eyes'. The girl just looked at him a bit scared and Naruto saw that so he smiled broadly to reassure that he won't try to harm her in any way.
"I am Uzumaki Naruto, sorry I scared you I didn't mean to. I only wanted to help" The girl blushed slightly at his straightforwardness but managed to recover after a few seconds.
"M-My na-name is Hyuuga Hinata tha-thank you for sa-saving m-me, Na-Naruto-kun" Naruto raised an eyebrow at her stuttering but left it alone as he assumed she was just shy. They only had to wait a minute as a couple of anbu joined by Hiashi Hyuuga and his brother Hizashi had arrived at the scene. They looked at the man trapped in the roots and were surprised, there was another mokuton user, they thought that The Shodaime was the last one and Tsunade hadn't inherited it so who was the one who possessed such a powerful kekkei genkai. Fortunately for them their shock was concealed by their masks and for Hiashi and Hizashi it was normal for them to have emotionless faces so hiding their emotion was easy, when they realized it was a six year old boy and by the looks of it he was the hokage's son.
"Naruto-kun we will have to take you to your father for this, he will want to know" The anbu had a feminine voice and wore a cat mask over her face.
"Sigh, fine let's go. See you later Hinata" Naruto waved as he left with the Anbu woman leaving the other two anbu to bring the 'diplomat' to their hokage, after they released him from his prison of course. They arrived at the Hokage tower pretty fast and were now in front of the doors leading to his personal office.
"Hokage-sama I have some new information for you, can I enter?" The woman asked and got a 'come in' from within the room. Minato noticed the young boy who was with her and raised his eyebrow at the woman.
"Cat why is my son here?" Minato asked confused at the presence of his own son.
"Hokage-sama the information regards your own son Naruto, we found him with the Hyuuga heiress when we were searching for her after she was kidnapped. When we found them the perpetrator which was the kumo diplomat was trapped by roots in what looked like a tree. I suspect that Naruto has the Wood Release kekkei genkai so I brought him here. That is all Sir" Cat reported making Minato wide eyed when he heard the words Wood Release and Naruto. He turned to his son and looked at him impassively.
"Is it true Naruto-kun? Did you use the Wood release on that spy?" Minato asked his son who shrugged like it was nothing.
"Yes, I did, when I realized he had kidnapped Hinata I immobilized him with a wood release jutsu. Is that a problem Hokage-sama?" Minato flinched a bit when he heard his son call him 'Hokage-sama' but let it go as he assumed he was just showing him his respect for his position.
"No, this is actually good, for the village at least, Cat who else saw this?" Minato asked his anbu. Minato was slightly surprised to see a six year old perform an advanced ninjutsu like that without much difficulty, something was definitely wrong.
"Boar, Monkey, Hiashi and Hizashi Hyuuga and I presume the heiress as well" Cat reported without a flaw knowing very well what the hokage intended to do.
"Bring them to me; also as of now this is to be an S-Rank state secret you will tell no one about this, understood Cat?"
"Yes, Hokage-sama" Cat left, leaving only the father-son pair in the room.
"Why didn't you tell me about this Naruto?" Minato asked somewhat hurt that his son was keeping things from him and their family.
"You'd never believe me if I told you otou-san besides does it really matter? I will only use this when I really have to as it drains too much chakra from me" Naruto lied conveniently not wanting him to know that he could actually make an entire forest without breaking a sweat, that would be troublesome. Somewhere a small Nara kid sneezed.
"I guess you are right, well you can go home now, tell your mother I will be late for me, will you?" Minato asked knowing very well what Kushina was going to do to him later when he got home. He wasn't looking forward to it. She hated when he came home late or wasn't near the kids enough but he was still the hokage.
Naruto at this got a huge grin on his face. "Okaa-san will beat you into a pulp if you are late. You do realize that right?"
"I know Naruto, please don't remind me, now go….." Minato said somewhat dejected knowing that even if he was one of the strongest Hokage, he still had to face the wrath of Kushina which would amount to three times the strength of all of the Hokage combined. He shivered at the thought, maybe he'd let him off the hook as this was an important matter. Naruto left silently chuckling at his father's misfortune.
1 Hour later The council meets.
"What we are going to talk about here is to remain unknown to everyone else who isn't present in this room. Do you understand?" Minato said with authority in his voice to which everyone nodded. Minato prompted Cat to tell her report to them and to say that they were shocked was an understatement. The civil council was going on about the CRA so they could breed the mokuton while the shinobi council was shocked except for Hiashi who already knew. Danzo however saw an opportunity and wanted to seize it at all costs.
"Hokage-sama I would be honored if you permit me to train the young boy in the arts of the shinobi" Danzo said concealing a smirk. 'If I can get my hands on him the position of Hokage will be all but mine with a weapon such as him'.
"I will not give you my son for you to turn into a weapon Danzo, any other questions?" Minato asked feeling this wasn't over. Homura and Koharu stepped up front.
"Hokage-sama I believe that Naruto will need to be trained by someone in how to use his kekkei genkai correctly, then why not Danzo, he is one of our village's best" Koharu said much to Danzo's delight. Before he could rebuke them however the sandaime hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen came to his rescue though a bit unneeded, it was still appreciated.
"I think I can solve that problem, why not let Tenzo train him, he is quite proficient using wood release" Hiruzen took a puff of smoke from his pipe then continued "Besides the boy is only 6 years old, you are asking a bit too much from him, I suggest we let Tenzo gradually teach him what he needs over the years, starting from now" Hiruzen finished making the two nod in agreement and Danzo angry at him.
"That is a good idea, any more questions?" Minato searched the room until Tsume, the matriarch of the Inuzuka spoke her concerns and probably the most were wondering as well 'how could Naruto actually have the wood release' he was an Uzumaki not a Senju.
"Hokage-sama, I don't mean to insult you but how exactly does Naruto have the mokuton?" The woman asked making Minato sigh as even he wasn't 100% sure of how Naruto actually unlocked it.
"The most probable cause would be because my wife is an Uzumaki. Since the Uzumaki were cousins of the Senju it is possible that Naruto could awaken it, I have already called back Tsunade to look into this she will arrive in a couple of days. Jiraiya-sensei assured me of this" And so the meeting went on with the civilian side proposing ridiculous things, like breeding the Mokuton, thus proving they weren't paying attention at all.
Three days after that incident in front of the Konoha West Gate stood a busty blonde with the kanji of gamble written on the back of her green coat and besides her a woman in her teens holding a piglet.
"Home, never thought I'd come back here after leaving only for a month. I wonder how that brat Naruto is doing?" Tsunade asked more to herself than anyone in particular.
"I am sure Naruto-kun is alright Tsunade-sama. I hope Kushina and Minato are taking good care of him" Shizune added knowing full well that Naruto's parents had a tendency to forget about him sometimes and that made him feel lonely.
"Well, let's get done with this and go visit him, the sooner we finish the faster I can visit my favorite godson" Tsunade said walking towards the hokage tower intent on seeing her godson as soon as possible.
In the Hokage office.
"Enter" Minato said glad that Tsunade had finally arrived.
"So why did you call me back you brat and make it fast I want to go see Naruto and the faster I am done with it the better" Minato chuckled at this oh the irony. Minato had called her back to check on Naruto since he had awaken the mokuton but she didn't need to know it was Naruto ,yet.
"I want you to do some tests on a particular person. He should arrive any second now" Minato said to Tsunade who looked annoyed. That was what she was called back for? To check on a person, they'd better be important.
"If this is what you called me for I am going to visit Naruto, when they decide to come tell them I will check on them tomorrow" Tsunade said prepared to leave when the door opened to reveal a young kid. He looked into the room and when he spotted Tsunade he ran right to her and hugged her. Tsunade was stunned for a few moments before realizing this was her godson.
"Tsunade-obaa-chan, you came back but I thought you were supposed to come a month later" Naruto was confused but happy.
"I am guessing you are the one that Minato wanted me to check on, Naruto, right Minato?" Tsunade's sour mood was gone instantly when she saw Naruto. She didn't mind that she had come home earlier if this meant spending more time with her godson.
"Yes, he has unlocked the Mokuton, oh don't worry this room is protected by some seals therefore no one will hear us. So yes I want you to do some tests on him to see how he actually has it if you will" Tsunade nodded and took off with Naruto towards the hospital to get the testing done once and for all but still even she was surprised about him having his grandfather's wood release. After taking his blood and testing it with various methods she found nothing out of the ordinary and it did indeed seem that he had affinity for mokuton. It was strange but it made sense so she didn't press the matter anymore, she was happy for her godson even if by him having mokuton it was basically like placing a big target on him. Tsunade was sure that she along with Jiraiya were competent enough to protect Naruto not to mention his parents.
Six year time skip at the Academy.
Naruto was sitting at the last desk near the window alone as usual. A lot happened in the six years that had passed, for one his taijutsu had improved to low chunnin possibly mid chunnin, his ninjutsu was the best by far as he could literally learn anything in the spam of a day, and that was if the jutsu was complicated if not it would take him only minutes to learn it, his genjutsu on paper was crap however Naruto was actually good at genjutsu, he just preferred not using it. Tenzo taught Naruto about the mokuton, not that he needed to, and if you go by his reports he was fairly skilled at it, for what they knew at least. His appearance was more and more like his mother by the years, his skin got paler and his hair was miraculously still at the same length, he also got taller so now he was 156 centimeters. He was wearing a black coat with 9 white tomoe on the back with a dark blue shirt underneath, black anbu pants and dark blue ninja sandals. He had gotten his clothes custom made for him with the money he had saved for two years as he wanted something to represent him better. It had been expensive, but it was worth it in the end as the outfit fit him like a glove and he had gotten a deal from the owner to make him a couple of duplicates in larger sizes for when he was older. His family situation was pretty much the same, everyone basically forgetting about him most of the time, which didn't surprise him that much but he just left them be because, frankly he stopped caring a long time ago. After all of this he still didn't hate them, no, he still loved them, Naruto just gave up on trying to make them see him that is all. Now on the day of the graduation he stood awaiting his turn tuning out the formalities and everything Iruka was saying until the time came to call the students to take their test. Naruto heard the names of some of his colleagues who were from clans such as Nara, Akimichi, Yamanaka, Hyuuga and so on. Naruto didn't care that much for making friends or getting rookie of the year or girls, he had one goal and one only. For that he only needed to graduate not to be top of the class or make friends. The only people he actually talked to when they talked to him were Hinata or his sisters, the latter a little bit more forced, he also frequently napped during the classes which irked Iruka to no end but when he'd ask Naruto a question about it he'd surprisingly know more than the books said. A good example of this was when Iruka had asked him what a doujutsu is.
Flashback No Jutsu
Iruka had caught Naruto sleeping during his class yet again and decided to teach him a lesson.
"Naruto!" He screamed at the top of his lungs unconsciously activating his Big Head No Jutsu which made the students laugh at Naruto for being scolded again. Naruto just yawned looking at his sensei like he was bored out of his mind 'What the hell does he want now? I was having a nice dream and he had to wake me up tsk'
"What is it Iruka-sensei?" Naruto asked clearly uninterested in what his sensei was teaching.
"Naruto since you slept while I was talking that means you know about doujutsus and what they are, so why don't you enlighten us?" Iruka inwardly praised himself for finally getting the brat with something he surely wouldn't know, doujutsus were taught only in clans and basic knowledge would be given only in the academy.
"Sigh, Do I have a choice?" Naruto asked only to get an angry look from his teacher "Fine, fine, I get it. In this room there are two out of three known examples of doujutsus. First the byakugan, possessed by the Hyuuga. The Byakugan gives the user a near 360º diameter field of vision, with one blind spot at the back of the neck above the first thoracic vertebra, it can penetrate through most solid objects, that does mean my dear colleagues that a Hyuuga can actually measure your 'cough' asset let's just say. Anyways back to the point the byakugan also lets the user see ones chakra and chakra system complete with at all the tenketsu, can also discern genjutsu when it's used and tell clones apart. Now on to the sharingan it grants the user the ability to see chakra, use some advanced genjutsu, and also annoyingly enough to copy techniques. Now I am sure broody here by the name of Sasuke wants to know how to unlock the sharingan. Well that is easy enough, you just need to undergo an emotional trauma strong enough and it will unlock itself" At this students paled "Now do you want to know something cool Sasuke?" Sasuke grunted and so Naruto took it as a 'what do you know about sharingan you are just an outsider' "Sasuke you are so cold, fine I will give you some information for your clan" Naruto chuckled at this knowing full well their reaction at what he is going to say "Now there is another level to the sharingan aside from gaining three tomoe. The sharingan can evolve into Mangekyo Sharingan. However to do that you have to experience such a trauma that is not worth it, the best way to unlock it is to either kill or see a person dear to you die and blame yourself for it. In my opinion it isn't worth it as you can't really use it too much because you will go blind from using it too often, there is a cure of course, swap your eyes with another ones with a sharingan and tadam. You will get Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan; use it to your will without going blind. Sasuke your clan should guard their secrets closer, I've heard all this when I was walking from two very talkative Uchihas, won't give you their name partially because I can't and even if I knew I wouldn't really" The students were shocked, some even puked even Iruka was speechless. Of course Naruto hadn't really lied about hearing two talkative Uchihas but he didn't specify that it was his father and one of his friends.
"Now that is all, thank you Naruto for your answer it was splendid" Iruka said before Hinata had asked
"What is the third one Naruto-kun?" Hinata was blushing madly but she was curious about what her crush meant about three doujutsus, and he had enumerated two of them so she wanted to know about the third naturally.
"As expected from Hinata-chan she noticed" Hinata blushed even more at the addition of '-chan' at her name. "Indeed I said in this room there are 2 out of three known doujutsus the sharingan and byakugan however the third doujutsu puts those two to shame" This made Sasuke scream in outrage, a doujutsu better than the sharingan what was the dobe talking about while Iruka just raised an eyebrow at this not knowing where he was going with this.
"What do you mean Naruto?" Asked Iruka genuinely curious.
"Well simple Iruka-sensei. The third doujutsu is known as the rinnegan, not many know about it since it is supposedly only a legend. Their nickname is the eyes of god and for a good reason to. The sage of the six paths possessed the rinnegan which of course is also a legend. I don't know that much about the rinnegan just bits and facts really, stuff like it grants the user all affinities known, water, fire, earth, wind, lighting and even gravity. They really are the eyes of god in a sense but as I said they are only a legend because no one has ever seen them ever so it is basically a myth. No need to concern yourself Sasuke your precious sharingan is fine it is still tied with the byakugan. That is all I had to say sensei, now I will resume my sleep if you will. Goodnight" And with that Naruto fell asleep once again leaving an angry Sasuke behind with his fan club angry at him as well while the rest were surprised at the information Naruto possessed.
Flashback No Jutsu Release.
After that he was called in by his father for a meeting with the two heads of the clans and he had to explain from where he knew all that information. Naruto had said that he just heard some people talk about it and the rest was from books. Which wasn't entirely a lie, he had learn about them from books and the rest he did heard from someone, so it was the truth only not all of it. Then he heard his name being called.
"Naruto Namikaze-Uzumaki" He got up and went in to take the test intent on finishing fast then go home for some training to expand his chakra levels.
"First perform kawarimi no jutsu" Naruto replaced himself with a log just before the kunai had hit him. "Good, now make a clone or how many you can make" Iruka said looking at Naruto expectantly.
"Kage Bunshin No jutsu" Naruto made four clones of himself and dispelled them when the teacher gave him the ok.
"Congratulations you pass, take your hittae and wear it proud" Naruto wrapped it around his left arm and turned to leave when he was stopped by Iruka's voice. "Naruto where did you learn to make kage bunshins?" Iruka had asked since this was considered a B rank technique, yet Naruto made 4 shadow clones with ease.
"I learned it when I saw Mito and Naruko do it so I just copied the hand signs, if I have to say though I can probably make 10 shadow clones without collapsing more would be too much for me" Iruka looked at his student impressed. To be able to make 10 shadow clones was nothing to laugh at especially when you are only a fresh gennin.
"Nice job Naruto you must have good chakra reserves to able to keep so many clones, even I would be hard pressed to maintain that many" Iruka said with pride in his voice.
"Thanks Iruka-sensei I will take my leave now, a good day to you both" And with that he took his leave leaving the two teachers do their job. Naruto of course had lied about been able to make only 10 shadow clones, with his reserves he could probably make thousands and feel nothing but they didn't need to know that.
Later in the meeting room.
"So today we are here to decide the team arrangements" Minato stated looking at the people seated around. On his left was Sarutobi Hiruzen the sandaime and on his right was Kushina his wife, while across them stood Hatake Kakashi, Yuhi Kurenai and Sarutobi Asuma.
"Let's start with the easy ones first. First Ino, Shikamaru and Chouji will be team 10 under Asuma this is an information control and interrogation team." Said person was smoking lazily and just gave a nod in approval.
"Next will be team 9 but that is still in rotation, so team 8 compromising of Hyuuga Hinata, Inuzuka Kiba, Aburame Shino, this team serves as reconnaissance and information gathering so I think Kurenai is the best for this any complaints ?" Minato asked only to be met by silence.
"I will be glad to teach them, Hokage-sama" The genjutsu mistress broke the silence and now it was down to two more teams.
"Team 7 will be compromised of Naruko, Mito, Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura" At this everyone raised an eyebrow most because 4 gennins in a cell was unheard of while some mainly Hiruzen, Kakashi and a certain anbu thought that Minato was forgetting something but chose not to say anything for the moment. "Let me explain my decision. This will be our front line and assault team since we have my daughters who are powerhouses because of the kyuubi, Uchiha Sasuke who will more than surely unlock the sharingan and become a ninjutsu specialist and lastly Haruno Sakura who has almost perfect chakra control which has the potential of becoming a great medic ninja. As for their sensei, Kakashi will take that job and Kushina since he will need some help and she is familiar with the two." Hiruzen had enough and decided to voice his concerns.
"Minato what about your son, Naruto?" The old man asked narrowing his eyes at him.
"Sigh, let me get to it sensei, Naruto due to his special circumstances will have Yamato as his sensei. I know Naruto is slacking off in every department however I also saw him training with Yamato and I have to say he is more than suited to work with him. They would make a great team" Minato concluded while Hiruzen smiled happy that Minato hadn't forgotten about his own son.
"Are you sure he can handle missions with Yamato Hokage-sama. From what I heard he was dead last in the academy and barely passed" Kurenai asked concerned for the kid but also a bit surprised that the hokage would show such blatant favoritism for his own son. To her surprise it was Hiruzen who spoke in the boy's defense not Minato.
"Kurenai, I don't think you know enough about Naruto to say that" Hiruzen said his voice hard, clearly upset that she had indirectly insulted his surrogate grandson.
"I mean no insult hokage-sama but it is a fact is not? He graduated last" Kurenai once again stated making the sandaime sigh.
"Yes he did, but I've also seen the kid train and I can see he is giving nowhere near his all and is secretive about his skills. A good thing to do also I have heard an interesting report a couple years ago from a certain academy teacher named Umino Iruka" Minato knew where he was going with it and smiled at the memory. "Want to hear it?" Everyone besides Minato and Kushina nodded. "Okay I will tell you about it in a short summary since time is of the essence. To put it short the kid knew more about doujutsus than the academy ever taught and knew information about the sharingan that even the Uchiha didn't, he also knew the weakness of the byakugan" This made everyone's jaws drop to the floor
"How is this possible?" Asked Kakashi confused, he knew almost all there was to know about the sharingan despite all that Naruto knew more than the Uchiha and himself knew? That wasn't possible.
"To this day we don't know how he gathered the information, however the facts he listed about the sharingan were proven after some time and I am pretty sure the ones about the byakugan were accurate as well. However most mind boggling is how Naruto knew about something that I am willing to bet no one in this room knows" Kakashi stared wide eyed at him along with the others. The notion of a kid knowing something about doujutsus that even they don't ,hah that was a good joke.
"Don't joke about it Sandaime-sama" Hiruzen got a wide grin at this and decided to profit a bit from this.
"How about a bet Kakashi-kun?" Proposed the older kage.
"Name the stakes Sandaime-sama" Kakashi said confident enough in his knowledge about the sharingan and byakugan and doujutsus in general.
"If you win you never get to do the mission 'catch the missing cat Tora'" Kakashi nodded enthusiastically while Kushina prayed he knew what Hiruzen was about to say, knowing full well how dreadful it was to catch that cat. "However if I win I get all the Icha-Icha books that I don't have from your collection" Minato sweat dropped at this while the rest face palmed. Kakashi however nodded albeit a bit reluctant. "Fine have you ever heard of the rinnegan?" Kakashi looked at him puzzled what was that, was it a doujutsu? Or was he just making it up?
"I've never heard of it Sandaime-sama is it a doujutsu?" Kakashi asked knowing that he had doomed his collection but he'd mourn that later or hide it depending if he could or couldn't, now his curiosity took the better of him.
"Looks like I won, you owe me 3 Icha-Icha books Kakashi-kun" Kakashi paled at this and hung his head down. "The rinnegan is a doujutsu rumored to be possessed by the sage of the six paths, according to Naruto it grants control over all elements + gravity also from what we asked when he came in apparently the rinnegan, he theorized forms when an Uchiha and a Senju mix therefore the lack of one, though he did say that an Uzumaki could work as well instead of a Senju. Apparently the chance of unlocking this doujutsu is one in a million and you need to go through extreme trauma for it to awaken. Of course all of this is his theory but it is a viable one nonetheless. Now dear Kurenai do you still think Naruto can't handle missions with Yamato?" The old man had a smirk on his face while the rest were gobsmacked at the revelation.
"Regarding that I wish for Naruto to take his test along team 7 if possible Kakashi, Kushina" The two nodded in acknowledgement. And with that they went on with the team assignments.
Next day at the academy.
Naruto was staying in the back as usual waiting for his name to pop up in one of the teams.
"Team 7 is Naruko Namikaze-Uzumaki, Mito Namikaze-Uzumaki , Uchiha Sasuke" The two were happy to be place in the same team while Sasuke just thought that it was better this way since they wouldn't drag him down while a certain pink haired bansh-err girl screamed along with others until another name popped up. "And Haruno Sakura your sensei is Hatake Kakashi and Uzumaki Kushina" At this Sakura fist pumped and thought something along the 'True love wins', while the two sweat dropped at the mention of their first sensei knowing full well he will be late at least 2 hours, ohh well, they could spent time with their mother while waiting. The team naming continued until team 10. Naruto thinking he had been left out turned to leave until Iruka spoke.
"Naruto Namikaze-Uzumaki, your sensei is Yamato. Now please wait for you sensei to arrive." Naruto raised an eyebrow at the name and sat back. Soon a man with short brown hair and black almond-shaped eyes. He wore the standard jounin uniform only without the swirling whirlpool and with two pouches instead of one. He also wore on his head a happuri-style forehead protector that framed his face. Naruto now knew who Yamato was, another codename for Tenzo.
"Naruto, how have you been doing?" Asked the man with a happy expression on his face. Naruto knew however what that what he truly meant was 'I hope you haven't neglected your training Naruto' and so he responded accordingly.
"I've been doing fine just as usual" Truth was Naruto didn't need training from him but his father had said that he needed to; the man was a slave driver. However over the past years Naruto had grown to like Yamato even if only a bit.
"Glad to hear that. Unfortunately we have to wait for Kakashi and Kushina-sama to arrive since we have to talk with them regarding an important matter" At this all the members of team 7 raised an eyebrow, and finally Naruko being the bold one decided to voice her concerns
"What do you need with our team Yamato-sensei and why does onii-chan have to be in a team by himself only with his sensei" Asked Naruko confused, she would have loved to have Naruto over the emo Sasuke or Sakura the banshee.
"You will have to ask Hokage-sama about that I don't make the teams Naruko" and with that silence prevailed the room for almost one hour until Kakashi showed up along with Kushina.
"Ahh, meet me on the roof in 5 minutes, me and Kushina-sama will be there" Kakashi said body flicking with a swirl of leaves along Kushina who gave a sigh. Not too long after that the same happened with Naruto and Yamato leaving the four freshly gennin to walk to the roof.
5 minutes later on the roof.
"Now that we are all here, we should start by introducing ourselves" Kushina said glaring at Kakashi slightly for his tardiness she'd have to fix that.
"Okaa-san what is Naruto-onii-chan doing here isn't he supposed to be in a team with Yamato sensei, not that I mind really. If possible could we send these two to Yamato-sensei and get onii-chan in return?" Naruko said making the two persons in question glare while Naruto chuckled, Yamato had no reaction and Kakashi seemed to smirk liking the idea.
"First of all while we are training and doing missions you will call me Kushina-sensei got it?" she nodded along with her sister "Secondly no, and besides you are being rude to your team mates and as for why Naruto-kun is here that is for the end,now start introducing yourself"
"Can Kakashi-sensei start first, to give us an example" Sakura said, while everyone mentally face palmed at that.
"My name is Hatake Kakashi my likes are not your business, my dislike don't concern you. My hobbies are many and for my dream, well let's just say I have a dream. Next Kushina-sama" Everyone sweat dropped at this while Kushina sighed. 'So all we learned was his name' all of the ones present thought at the same time.
"My name is Kushina Uzumaki my likes are ramen and my family, my dislikes are arrogant people along with people who badmouth my hair. My hobbies are training with my daughters and other things among many, my dream is to see my kids marry and be happy" Kushina said with pride.
"Next Yamato since you are a sensei as well" Kakashi said only for the person in question to say 'I pass'. This made Naruto chuckle at the antics of his sensei. "Anyways next is pinky there"
"My name is Haruno Sakura, my likes are….." looks towards Sasuke" my dislikes are Ino-pig and people who insult others for no reason as for my hobbies….." Glances as Sasuke "My dreams are….." Looks again at Sasuke and screams lightly. 'Great I have a fan girl in my team….' Both Kushina and Kakashi thought at the same time.
"Next broody over there enlighten us please" Kakashi said sarcastically to which Sasuke scoffed.
"My name is Uchiha Sasuke my likes are tomatoes and fighting strong opponents, my dislikes are ignorant and power hungry people. My hobbies are training with Itachi-nii and my dream is to rebuild the Uchiha clan" Sasuke had taken pretty well the massacre of the Uchiha clan though it was given that he had accidentally overheard his father speak about it and told his older brother Itachi who unfortunately killed all the clan excluding his mother and himself since they had nothing to do with it. This was a SS rank secret and to the public it was told that the massacre was done by an unknown nin, that way Itachi could stay with his little brother. Itachi was grateful to Naruto for telling him about the after effects of Mangekyo Sharingan so he wouldn't go blind, he was certain that he'd notice eventually but it would probably be too late for him by then.
'He is taking the massacre better than I thought he would, well that is one less problem to solve' Kakashi thought.
"Next the blonde there" Kushina glared at him for the remark but said nothing, for now at least.
"My name is Namikaze-Uzumaki Naruko, my likes are ramen and my family, my dislikes are the time it takes to cook ramen and people who insult my family. My hobbies are training with okaa-san and otou-san and pranking, my dream is to become Hokage dattebayo" Kushina smiled at her then prompted Mito to go next as she feared that if Kakashi said redhead he'd pound him into the ground.
"My name is Namikaze-Uzumaki Mito my likes are my family and sweets, my dislikes are people who insult my family, arrogant people and a certain orange book that I am sure okaa-san hates as well." Kakashi knew that this was a silent threat and noted to himself to be wary around Kushina and Mito. "As for hobbies I like reading and training, my dream is to become an accomplished kunoichi much like Tsunade-obaa-chan or Kushina-sensei"
"Next, you with the book" Naruto looked up to see everyone look at him expectantly.
"Alright though you probably already knew this and don't really need to know this but whatever. "Naruto said shrugging not really seeing the point in it as this wasn't even his team "My name is Namikaze-Uzumaki Naruto, long and bothersome I know right" Naruto chuckled "My likes are reading, star and moon gazing, my dislikes are arrogant people, warmongers, greedy people and the list goes on, however one thing that I dislike the most are people insulting my family or hurting them" 'especially okaa-san, I will one day bring you back' "My hobbies are training and gardening, I don't exactly have a dream but I do have a goal which I don't want to tell you" The whitehead concluded making Kushina raise an eyebrow at the last part curious about what it was.
"Now, as for why Naruto is here that is simple. He is here to take the test along with you to become a gennin. Yep you aren't gennin yet" Kakashi explained to the now confused gennins. "The test will be held of you come at training ground seven including Naruto. Oh and don't eat too much you will just puke it all out." The senseis+ Naruto left with the body flicking jutsu in a swirl of leaves leaving the two sisters walk home and irritated Sasuke which was constantly being pestered by Sakura for a date.
Next day. 9:30 Training ground 7
In a cloud of smoke the two sensei appeared before the five gennin who were all, besides Naruto,chatting about what this test would be about. Naruto who was in a tree hopped down and looked at his mother and Kakashi expectantly.
"Now you are all here for your test, so it is rather simple. You will have to take a bell from Kakashi. The ones who take a bell before the time is up pass the others are thrown back to the academy" Kushina said with a sweet smile while Kakashi took out 3 bells.
"Why are there only 3 bells Kakashi-sensei?" Naruko asked since she was curious about the number of bells, did that mean that only three of them could pass?.
"Simple, the two that don't get a bell will be sent back to the academy" Kakashi said with an eye smile.
"Now let the test begin" All of them ran out towards the forest, albeit Naruko being dragged by Mito, all besides Naruto. Kakashi looked at him suspiciously while Kushina was also wondering what he was doing from the tree she had hopped on.
"Why are you still here Naruto?" Kakashi didn't know what to believe, Naruto wasn't the type to go on a frontal attack but when Naruto sighed it was clear to Kakashi that something was on the mind of the fresh gennin.
"Aren't you a bit cruel Kakashi-sensei and Kushina-sensei?" Naruto asked with a small smile gracing his lips.
"What do you mean Naruto, this are the rules if you don't want you can always go back to being an academy student if you want to" Kakashi said with his voice emotionless.
"Yeah sure, whatever you say. It's not like you made this test specifically to pit us against each other and the true meaning behind it is teamwork. Please Kakashi-sensei it's obvious and besides you can't beat me in a ninjutsu battle or a genjutsu one for that matter. Not even with that eye of yours" Naruto said making both Kushina and Kakashi shocked at how the boy had realized the true meaning behind the test. However something was wrong if he knew why didn't he told his other team mates and try cooperating with them also why did he say he could win against him in a ninjutsu battle… he had copied numerous jutsu and a gennin hoped to defeat him, yeah sure.
"Then why not tell your team mates as well?" Kakashi questioned the boy in front of him.
"Simple Mito-chan already knows and" Naruto smirked "I want to fight you Kakashi-sensei and this is the perfect opportunity, you might want to use that eye of yours this will get ugly" Naruto said making the necessary signs for a fire jutsu. Kakashi widened his eye at this, elemental manipulation was a chunnin skill not a newly graduated gennin one.
"Katon: Karyuu Endan" (lit Fire release: Fire Dragon Flame bullet) A huge fire dragon sped towards Kakashi who had to make quick hand signs for a water jutsu.
"Suiton: Suiryuudan no Jutsu" (lit Water Stile: Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu) The jutsus clashed canceling each other but before long Naruto made hand signs for a Wind jutsu by the looks of it.
"Futon: Daitoppa (Wind release: Great Breakthrough)" Kakashi was taken by surprise by this and had to use Kawarimi no Jutsu, but when he looked down Naruto was gone. Shrugging it off, as he checked the bells which were still there he went on to place a genjutsu on Sakura then fight Mito and Naruko and lastly bury the poor Uchiha with an earth jutsu. Suddenly the alarm clock beeped signaling the end of the test. All of the gennin including Naruto rounded up joined by Kakashi and Kushina.
"You all didn't take a bell therefore you all fail. However I will give you a chance to redeem yourself later" Kakashi said planning to tie up Naruko and Naruto to the posts and see if they actually help them or leave them like that.
"What do you mean Kakashi-sensei I say we passed" Naruto said flashing a pair of three bells out in the open shocking everyone present.
"What, when, how?" Kakashi blurted out.
"Simple that wind jutsu was just something to direct you where I wanted to, then I placed you under a genjutsu and also Kushina-sensei and took the bells replacing them with pebbles. Of course I used henge on them, so you wouldn't notice" Kushina was both impressed and shocked at the same time. When did he placed them under a genjutsu and how?
"How did you place us in a genjutsu Naruto-kun I never saw you make any hand signs for it?" Kushina asked while Kakashi berated himself for not taking Naruto's advice of fighting with the sharingan. 'If the other jounin hear about this I will be a laughing stock. Damn it how did he do it?'
"Kushina-sensei, a good shinobi never reveals his secrets but since Kakashi-sensei is so curious" 'More like desperate' thought Kushina. "I am willing to tell him that it is a basic genjutsu however that is all I will tell. Back to my point now, you see we passed because" Naruto tossed the two bells at Sakura and Sasuke. "We all have a bell." Naruto said leaving Kakashi confused.
"So that means your sisters go back to the academy Naruto?" The two in question looked sad but not for long.
"Heck no, it was boring as fuck, I won't do that to them. It's simple really I said we all have a bell therefore me Naruko-chan and Mito-chan are sharing this bell" Naruto held it up for Kakashi to see it making the two sister smile and Kushina giggle at his cunning nature.
"You all…. Pass, luckily so. If not for Naruto who understood the true meaning of this test which was teamwork you would have probably failed, oh well from tomorrow you will all start doing missions, of course Naruto will do them with his sensei but we will do ours as well. Dismissed" Kakashi and Kushina then disappeared in a swirl of leaves leaving the 5 five newly instated gennin alone. Naruto was then approached by his sisters who now had happy smiles on their faces.
"Thanks Naruto-onii-chan, for bailing us out" Mito said truly grateful to his brother, she had understood the meaning as well but couldn't get Sakura and Sasuke to cooperate.
"Yeah thank you Naruto-onii-chan for helping us" Naruko said making Naruto wave it off like it was nothing.
"Don't mention it, I didn't do much. I am sorry but I have to go inform Yamato-Sensei About this" And with that Naruto disappeared in a swirl of leaves leaving the four alone in the training field.
