Chapter one: The Beginning
The middle of a forest somewhereIruka: "congratulations Naruto you pass."
Naruto: "Alright! Ne Ne Iruka-Sensei can we go get something to eat." He asked after finishing his celebration
Iruka: "Sure, Naruto, You want to go now?"
Naruto: "hai, but can we stop by my place first I want to go change."
At Naruto's PlaceNaruto: "Ok Iruka-Niisan I'm ready to go."
Iruka: "Sure think Naru-Chan, But why is it that when ever you pretend to be a boy, you wear that awful orange jumpsuit, but when you go out as you a girl you ware actual clothes?"
Naru: "Iruka-Niisan you know that the Hokage-Jisan told me not to draw any attention to my skills, you know that because of the gender seal he had put on me that my control is better, making me the top one in my class I just act the dobe."
Walking Around TownIruka: "Hai I guess, you know you'll be assigned a team are you going to tell them."
Naru: Sigh, "I don't know yet, more then likely I'll tell my sensei, but I don't know yet if I will tell my teammates."
Iruka: "you really need to consider telling them. They will be your team they will need to be able to trust you."
Naru: "do you know who will be on my team?"
Iruka: shaking his head "No I don't know I'm supposed to meet with Hokage-Sama later to discuses the team assignments. But, I'm pretty sure that you will have Sasuke on your team because his scores are the top in the class and you're the lowest."
Naru: frowning "dang! You know how I don't like him and if one of his stupid fan-girls are going to be on his team they'll be useless."
Iruka: Chuckling lightly 'sorry Naru-chan' "you know you must be the only girl that doesn't like Sasuke and I think you might need to take your forehead protector off. It might be a little hard to explain to any of the other students if they saw you with it on."
Naru: Taking the forehead protector off "hai I guess you might be right."
Sakura: 'Hum I wonder who that girl is I haven't seen her around before. I'll ask.' "Hello Iruka-Sensei how are you doing this evening? And who might your friend be?
Naru: "Ne Iruka-Niisan who is this" pointing at Sakura
Iruka: "Ah Sakura-san it's nice to see you. This is Naru-chan I'm her guardian and this is
Sakura, Naru-Chan, she's one of my students." 'How will you handle this Naru'?
Naru: "Its nice to meet you Sakura-san. Ne Ne tell me how bad is Iruka-Niisan at teaching."
Sakura: grinning at Iruka's annoyed look "oh he's a really good teacher."
Naru: "well it was nice to meet you Sakura-san but I must be going I have a long day tomorrow and Iruka-Niisan said he had to see Hokage-Sama, JA Ne Sakura-san."
Iruka: 'well done Naru-chan' "I'm afraid she is right Sakura-san, I must be going and I need to see that Naru-chan gets home ok."
Back at Naru's HouseNaru: "man that was close."
Iruka: "yes it was but remember what we talked about. Not everyone will hate you for keeping this secret."
Naru: "I know but I'm scared you know. Could you do me a favor and tell Hokage-Jisan about everything its time he knows and I would tell him but I still have trouble talking about it."
Iruka: "Even the talk we had with the Kyuubi?" seeing Naru nod "Ok I'll talk with him tonight about it as we go over the teams, Good night Naru-chan I'll see you in the morning."
Naru: "bye Iruka-Niisan" waving after Iruka as he walked through the doors.
Hokage's OfficeIruka: "You know Naru-chan won't like being placed on his team."
Hokage: "yes I know but, there is nothing we can do without giving away her secret."
Iruka: "Hokage-Sama I have finally been given permission to tell you what happen those five years ago" seeing his interest he continued "A week after the incident Naru came into contact with the Kyuubi" his holding up his hand to forestall any questions "It seems that the Kyuubi was greatly angered buy the incident and wished to talk with me about things"
Flash BackIruka: "How are you feeling Naru-chan?"
Naru: "I'm feeling a little better I still hurt through" seeing Iruka's nod "I found something out though."
Iruka: "and what would that be" showing interest
Naru: "That I am the vessel of the Kyuubi and that's why all the villagers hate me and do bad things to me, Don't worry Kyuubi told me that I am very strong for being able to withstand her power."
Iruka: getting over his stupor "Kyuubi is a girl?"
Naru: "yes and she wants to meet you to talk, she told me about a jutsu that would allow you to enter my mind and me to lead you to her." Showing him the hand seals "don't worry she's behind some bars she can't hurt you."
Iruka: "Ok, but if anything happens…"
Naru: "I know"
Kyuubi's CellIruka: "where are we?"
Naru: "Kyuubi's cell"
Kyuubi: "ah! Welcome Iruka-san"
Iruka: "how do you know my name?"
Kyuubi: "I have been watching." Getting angry "and I am really displeased about the acts that the villagers have done to the kit here only you and that Hokage of yours are decent."
Iruka: "I to am disappointed and I will tell you this those men that did this were dealt with harshly."
Kyuubi: "that is good but I will tell you this it was not I who wished to attack this village I was put under a seal that throw me into rage by a pale man that had eyes of a snake and the leaf forehead protector."
Iruka: "Am I able to perform jutsu's in this place?"
Kyuubi: "only if Naru wishes it."
Naru: "yes you may."
Iruka: "did the man look like this." Performing a simple hinage
Kyuubi: "Yes, That is him" Venom dripping forms her Voice.
Iruka: "ok think you that's what I wanted to know. So what are you going to do now?
Kyuubi: "I will teach the kit but there is the problem with the way the villagers treat her."
Iruka: "I will talk with the Hokage about her gender."
Kyuubi: "very well but, until she gives you permission you will not speak of this conversation or the next time you visit here it will not be pleasant. Also by the time she graduates she will be well on her way to matching her father, the Forth, will be proud to call her his daughter.
Naru: "The forth was my f-father?" seeing Kyuubi nod her head "Right I will surpass him and become the greatest Hokage ever."
End Flash BackHokage: "hum well this is interesting, that was were the idea of the gender seal and her ambition to become the Hokage? But, why tell me this now."
Iruka: "yes, it was, she finally feels that she is ready to tell you for you should know but, she still has trouble with talking about it and I know the Kyuubi killed my parents but, I have talked with her many time and I trust her. She also gave Naru a summing contract with foxes. Right now she can summon the third ranked fox so she is quite strong. She is well enough to be better then Sasuke."
Hokage: "what about her gender will Naru tell her team?"
Iruka: shaking his head "she said that she might tell her sensei but, her teammates she doesn't trust them yet."
Hokage: "tell her that while I respect her choices I will tell her instructor she doesn't need to worry about that but, her teammates will remain in the dark."
Iruka: "I understand I will tell her tomorrow before the teams are assigned."
At the AcademyIruka: "Naruto can I talk with you for a minuet."
Naruto: "sure"
Iruka: "The Hokage has ok everything however he has said that he while he will not force you to tell your team, he will tell your instructor and he also wishes to talk with your tenet is that all right?"
Naruto: "I think so let me check" 'Ne Kyuubi-chan'
Kyuubi: "yes that is well I wish to speak with him as well."
Naruto: "yes she says that its good and I understand Iruka-Niisan."
Iruka: "good I'll take you for ramen tonight."
Naruto: "yes! Ramen"
Around the cornerSakura: 'I wonder what that was about'
Back in the class room Iruka: "alright I will assigned the teams now. Team seven will be Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, and Sakura Haruno your instructor will be Kakashi-sensei. Team 8 you will be Kiba Inuzuka, Hinata Hyuuga, and Shino Aburame your Instructor will be Kurenai-sensei. Team ten will be Shikamaru, Ino Yamanaka, and choji your instructor will be Asuma-sensei.
