Authors Note: I didn't like how the story was going and decided to revise it a bit.

Naruto: Innovation

The sun rose on the sleeping village of Konoha. Birds sing their morning songs and people beginning to start their busy days. Light slipped its way through Satori's window shade and the slivers of light beam on him. He awoke from the warmth. He sat up and stretched. He slipped out of bed and headed to his bathroom to freshen himself up for the long day ahead of him. He slipped out of his blue colored pajamas and turned on the hot water for his shower. He stepped in and began to wash himself. He went into a deep meditation as the water hit him. All he could think about was Yukino and what happened a few days ago. Flashes of the events of what the two of them went through during those two days. He turned off the hot water and dried himself. He wrapped a towel around his waist and walked out of his bathroom. He walked back into his room to change into his normal everyday wear. After he got dressed he grabbed his sai belt and gloves. He walked down the stairs fastening his belt around his waist and then attaching his gloves to it. He turned the corner and into the kitchen to see his father Genma and sister Tenten were at the table.

"Are you staying for breakfast?" His mother asked.

"Actually no. I'm having breakfast with Yukino-san this morning. I'm supposed to meet her in a few minutes."

"You like her don't you." Tenten poked.

"Of course I do. She's a cool person to hang out with." Satori said.

"You like her in another way."

"Yukino is a great girl, you should ask her out." Yoshino said.

Satori didn't say anything.

"You two have been hanging out a lot together."

"Well, we are friends and that's what friends do." Satori said pulling a senbon from inside of his Jonin vest and putting in his mouth.

Tenten looked at her brother with a slight perplexed look on her face. It was the tone of his voice that caught her attention. Satori was a smartass but for some reason this time it was different. She stared at him as if she was trying to figure him out. Satori noticed his sister's stare and turned for the door.

"I'll see you all later." He said walking out the door.

Tenten watched her brother leave then returned her attention to her plate. Genma noticed his daughter's distraction.

"What is it, Tenten?" He asked.

"I'm not sure. Something's different about Nii-chan."

Tenten sat there for a second then got up from the table. Yoshino and Genma looked at her.

"Sorry, but I've got to go and do something." She said heading for the door.



Satori walked down the street heading for the business district. He came across Yukino who was coming down an intersecting street. Satori smiled at the sight of her as did she.

"Good morning, Yukino-san."

"Hey, Satori-kun." Yukino said with a smile.

"Tenten thinks that you and I should get together."

"What did you tell her?"

"I didn't tell her anything." Satori said putting his arm around Yukino.

"So where do you want to eat for breakfast?" He asked.

"Not sure, let's walk and figure that out on the way." She said.

After finally finding a place, the two Jonins sat across from each other. After a moment, Yukino finally broke the silence.

"Remember, when we were talking about the Kyubi?" Yukino asked.

"Yeah."

"I found out some information that I want to share with someone. I know that it's bad to talk about such things but I want to tell someone about it and you were the only one I could think of."

"Glad to have your vote of confidence."

"I found out Namikaze Minato, the Fourth Hokage, sealed the soul of the Kyubi into his son Uzumaki Naruto."

"To be honest, I've known that for awhile now."

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah, I found out when Shuji and I were only Genin. His father had appeared in the village and he wanted to know anything he could find out about him. We snuck into the records hall and found the info we needed from the third's notes. I ended up reading further ahead and found out about the Kyubi and Naruto."

"Not many people our age know. I'd say about a handful of us actually know."

Yukino was a bit surprised that Satori knew the information that she had just recently found out. But she was glad that she now had someone to talk to about this major event.

Hanako had just walked out of her house when she heard her name called. She turned around to see Tenten coming up to her.

"Hey, Tenten."

"Hanako, I have a bit of a favor to ask."

"What is it?"

"Well, Satori has been acting a bit weird since he came back from that mission with Yukino and I was wondering if you could help me figure out what was going on."



"Now that you mention it, it does seem that he's been acting weird. We'll get Junshin in on it too. And the three of us will figure out what happened." She said.

After breakfast, Satori and Yukino walked out of the restaurant and Satori accidentally bumped into Tsuku.

"Oh sorry, Tsuku."

"Don't worry about it." He said.

Tsuku was about to move past Satori but stopped. Satori looked at him to see if there was anything else that Tsuku wanted to say.

"Is there anything else?"

"Yeah, are you wearing contacts?"

"Uh…yeah. I am." Satori said in a panic.

"Ah well, they suit you. I like the hint of purple in your eyes. Although, it's barely noticeable." Tsuku said before going on his way.

Satori looked at Yukino "That was a close one."

Yukino nodded.
