"NARUTO! WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING!?" Iruka yelled, giving his custom death-glare to the blonde that was slowly climbing to his feet, "Damn near half the jounin and chunin are out looking for you!"
"Nhh..huh.?" He stood groggily for a moment. "My head is killing me..what happened?"The last thing he remembered was being out in the woods where he had finally finished learning the Shadow Clone Jutsu from the Forbidden Scroll. He was about to pack up and return it when another caught his eye; the Seal of The Linked Soul.
Then it hit him: Mizuki had said learning one jutsu from the scroll would let him pass. If so, then more that one would improve his chances even more!!
He spent almost as long on it as he did the shadow clone one; it required a thirty-eight seal-long chain that had to be made without interruption. Unfortunately, he had no idea what it did since he blacked out when he made the last seal, only waking when he heard Iruka yelling
"What in the name of the Shinigami posessed you to steal the Forbidden Scroll, of all things!?"

Meanwhile, in the confines of a water-logged caged, two red slitted eyes were observing the event unfold.
"So, he found that jutsu. I've been wondering what happened to it. Well, at least now I can proceed." The eyes glanced back at the still open scroll and widened a bit, "Ooh! Is that a kaiton jutsu? Those look like they might come in handy."
A chuckle emanated from nearby in a cluster of shadows, "Like a kid in a candy shop." A second voice commented with a slightly lazy drawl.
"So sue me. Ninjas aren't the only ones that like learning techniques."The eyes went back to looking over the visible jutsu

(The rest of it goes as canon. Just couldn't get things to go as well in text as it did in my head)

Naruto fell in a heap on his bed, a mixture of physical exhaustion and his mind reeling from what Mizuki had told him. It was great that he finally made genin., that much was true...but the claim that he was the demon fox still rang out. He wasn't sure which hurt worse, that it was the reason he was hated, or the fact the Hokage wanted to keep him in the dark about it.
"Is it possible? That I really am the fox..?" He murmured to himself.
"You're joking right?"Another voice growled suddenly, causing the blonde to jerk upright and almost fall off the bed, "If you're the fox, then why am I able to talk to you?"
Naruto looked around wildly for the source of the voice. It sounded as if it was coming from everywhere, "Who said that?!" He half-hollered, drawing a kunai.
"Relax, I just need to talk to you about something important." Silence reigned for a moment before it was interrupted by a disgruntled snort, "This'll be easier if we're face-to-face."
With that, everything went black before Naruto could respond.

And thus begins the Remake of Naruto:Reborn.
I know I use a lot of prologues, but I find they help me get a good flow going into the real starting chapter (feel free to blame my muse)
Also, any suggestions for sword names would be appreciated. So far I got:
Aka hime (bloody princess)
Cutting Nail (couldn't get a descent Japanese translation for these two)
Black Crescent
