Hello Everyone, I would like to thank you for taking your time and reading this story. I hope you enjoy it and send me feedback (whether good or bad it does not matter. But flames I will 95% of the time ignore them) so I could better my story for my writing pleasure and your reading one. No I will not take opinions of what should be on my story. I have many chapters planned so I don't need more ideas. Sorry.

Anyways, enjoy and remember to write a feedback. Thanks.

After the completion of bringing Sasuke back to Konoha, our 13 year old hero, Naruto was ready to just sit back and relax. But the Super Perv (Jiraiya, for those that don't know) told him of the upcoming training trip the two would be having in three weeks time. So Naruto began to start packing while letting his doppelganger make a list of who to say 'Goodbye' and spend his last few weeks to hang with. His list was a good size, with his fellow graduating class members being in it (Ino, Shikamaru, Choji, Kiba, Sakura, Shino, Teme Sasuke and of course his best pal Hinata). Finishing his packing he decided to start in his endeavor of announcing his trip to his friends and find out who had free time when to hang out with. Naruto just randomly went at his list; the first one to find was Kiba. Kiba the second born of Clan Leader Tsume Inuzuka was a boy with scruffy brown hair sharp canines like his nin-kin companions and two red stripes on his cheeks. Spotting Naruto, Kiba greeted him, "Yo! Naruto! How's it going? You got some free time right now?"

Naruto responded, "Yeah, I've been looking for our classmates and you were the first to find. I have some big news I need to tell you all!"

Kiba wondered if he was going to publicly ask out Hinata, since those two were inseparable at times. Talk about joined at the hip! Luckily they were in separate teams otherwise those two would not spend any time apart from each other. Kiba, finally decided to ask,

"So finally asking Hinata out, right? " Kiba just wiggled his eyebrows at Naruto, to which he responded with a whole face blush that would make Hinata proud. Besides being inseparable, the two were crushing on each other….HARD! But alas, youth always giving and receiving mixed signals, the two could not decipher if they liked one another and chalked it all up to the other not liking them at all since they were too good for them. Ah the "springtime of youth", as our resident 'flames of youth' Maito Gai would say.

"What are you talking about Kiba? You know Damm well she doesn't like me that way, she sees me as her friend only" responded Naruto looking very dejected.

Kiba looked at him with a sigh and said, "Whatever. Listen, How about we round up everyone and you tell them all at once your big news? Saves time, and we can do it in a large restaurant; we all have fun, eat and hang out. What do you say?"

Naruto did not have to ponder hard for this; he grinned and said "that sounds excellent! What time should we make it? How about 8 at Teriyaki B.B.Q? That should be reasonable right?"

Kiba grinned immensely since that was his favorite restaurant and it had all you can eat meat (not for Akimichis, they were barred from that offer) and as an Inuzuka meat is what's for dinner all the time!

"Sure, I'll start looking for my team and we will spread out the info further from there".

Naruto nodded, "okay, I'll see you there. " he waved at his friend and ran to the nearest wall and started going up the building horizontally so he could start roof hopping to spot his teammates…well teammate should we say.

Sakura was easy to find, since she was at the one place everyone knew she would forever be at; near Sasuke's side. This grated Naruto to no end, since as a onetime crush and friend Sakura was overly deluded into thinking that doing everything for the Teme would bring his love to her….which sadly it looked like it would never happen.

Said Uchiha was lying in bed with monitors all over his body. He was dragged back at the village with multi fractures to most of his bones, heavy cuts throughout most of his skin and burnt patches of flesh. This is the result of the battle in the valley of the end, between Naruto and Sasuke. Naruto had to kill his heart and emotions to defeat his 'friend' and drag his broken body back to Konoha. No one would have thought of Naruto, the jokester of the group, as someone who would show this much power and brutality against a 'friend'. But alas, Naruto kept his promise to Sakura and no one could say our jinchurikin Naruto was not a person of their word.

Knocking in the door Naruto slowly stepped in and saw Sakura, looking at him. Sad eyes were the only things Naruto could see in them but if you would look closer you could see relief, joy and happiness. All directed at him.

"Hey sakura, how is the Teme doing?" even though he considered Sasuke his friend and their friendly banter of 'Teme'/'dobe' was all in good fun, now Naruto really meant it. But he figured he should be nicer since Sakura was in a sensitive emotional state after seeing the wreck that Sasuke's body was and keeping up vigil until he returned to his normal self.

Sakura frowned at Naruto for calling her "Sasuke-kun" a 'dobe'! But she let it go for now, and responded, "I'm doing okay, just waiting for Sasuke-kun to get better. I go home change and clean myself but come back within the hour." She looked at naruto, after three weeks of the retrieval mission she still wanted to yell at him for doing such harm to her beloved but knew that Naruto did what he had to do…and she felt torn between feeling glad and feeling hurt for her love.

"Anyways Sakura, I wanted to ask you to come and hang out with the rest of the group around 8p.m at Teriyaki B.B.Q. I have a big announcement I want to share with everyone and I want you to come as well." He looked at her smiling.

Sakura was in a bind now, stay with her beloved and keep vigil or have some fun with the group tonight. She was being nagged to get out of the hospital room more often by the nurses, her mom, Lady Tsunade and even Ino( she doesn't Fangirl over Sasuke anymore. It took the betrayal of village for her to see things in perspective) told her also in her oh so friendly way, "you need to get some fresh air Sakura or your back will match your big ol' forehead from all that hunching". As irritating as some of those people were (Ino) they had a point. So begrudgingly she nodded her head and said" Fine, I'll go but only for an hour! Then I have to come back here!"

"Deal Sakura, I'll see you there!" Naruto waved goodbye and quickly left the room to leave her to her vigil of her beloved.

Time passed, and everyone was made aware of the get together and agreed to meet up at the chosen location and time. Naruto slowly made his way inside Teriyaki B.B.Q and saw all his friends chatting up having a good ol' gay time with one another.

"Hey the man of the hour has arrived" yelled Kiba in a boisterous voice.

Naruto face palmed at his friends noisy greeting/announcement to the others.

"Hey everyone, I have a really big announcement to make and I'm glad all of you could make it" Naruto said joyfully. He never would have thought of having so many good friends, and best friends yet he was blessed with more than he would have ever dreamed of.

Everyone looked around….Trying to guess what it was, but all came to the same conclusion…..sadly…none kept it in their thoughts but said it out loud.

"You're finally going to ask Hinata out?" said the chorus of teenagers, minus Hinata.

Said lady seemed to be as red as Naruto was earlier today when Kiba said the same thing.

Naruto and Hinata looked at one another, blushing furiously….

'Does he really like me'? Hinata thought.

'Does she really like me'? Naruto thought.

But Naruto put this aside and yelled, "You guys are as dumb as Kiba!"

Which got a "HEY!" from said Inuzuka boy.

"We all know Hinata and I are friends ONLY, so stop saying stupid things and listen. In three weeks time I will be heading out on a training trip with the Super Perv. He said it would be around 2 to three years, said something about unleashing my true potential...…yaddie yaddie yadda. Anyways, I will become super strong when I come back and I'll be one step closer to being Hokage!" Naruto yelled the last part out, since his dream was being Hokage and nothing was going to deter him from it.

The looks of everyone were of puzzlement, concern and overall acceptance. Puzzlement; since they wondered why this was a big deal, since they were all going to be trained to further strengthen themselves. Be it by their senseis or their family teachings. Concern; since Naruto was a magnet for trouble and well trouble had his number on speed dial and it called him almost 24/7. Finally acceptance; since they could do nothing about it, acceptance and congratulations were in order.

First to speak was Shikamaru" Troublesome blondes; Anyways, good luck on your trip and when you come back let's see how much you have changed when we play a match of shogi". Shikamaru said with a smile.

Everyone else piled on with well wishes and congratulations while eating their meals. Choji complaining how the restaurant discriminated against Akimichis, Ino complaining about no one listening to her, Kiba laughing heartedly after a joke Naruto told him.

Shino being the quietest of the bunch finally said "Naruto-san may luck be with you in your travels" which many thought he would say more, but Shino was not going to waste words. Naruto thanked him for his kind words.

Sakura looked at her watch and said, "Sorry everyone I got to go my hour is up, see you guys later" and dashed out of the restaurant straight back to her spot to keep vigil once more.

Everyone sighed at her but this was a happy occasion and decided to keep it that way, with more laughter, food and when no one was looking some SAKE!

Finally things settled down and people were leaving. Saying their last goodbyes, Naruto was left with Kiba and Hinata. Kiba was buzzed after hitting the bottle one too many times and his young body couldn't take all that alcohol. So Naruto created a Kage Bunshin and told it to carry Kiba home.

This left the two best friends alone. The bills were paid (thankfully all of their friends chipped in and paid the large amount that were in said bills. Otherwise Naruto's gamma-Chan was going to be on a diet for next few months) the table was clean and the two would look at one another and blush. This cute cycle continued for a few minutes when finally Hinata said "This was a great get together dinner. I had fun and I want to wish you a good time in your training trip". She managed to say this without making her blush redder than it already was. Naruto smiled at her and said "Thanks Hinata-Chan, that means a lot coming from you". To which Hinata smiled back at him, she looked at her hands and what she saw made her more red than she would ever thought was possible. Her hands were millimeters away from Naruto's. Naruto saw at Hinata staring intently at the table and looked, just to be shocked as well.

They looked at each other, and faster than a Hirashin, their hands were in their pockets.

After the awkward moment passed Naruto said" we should get going. The restaurant looks busy and we should let them use this table for other customers". They grabbed their jackets and walked out of the restaurant. "So can I walk you home tonight Hinata-Chan?" an enthusiastic Naruto asked

"Sure Naruto-Kun" Hinata responded with a smile on her face.

The walk was quiet but comfortable they both had their hands behind their heads while looking up on the road. Hinata's mind was abuzz with thoughts, ideas, and questions of the events that transpired during the dinner. Without a shadow of a doubt, Hinata wanted to admit her crush on Naruto but as soon as she felt confident about bringing the subject up someone always blab about Naruto and her which then Naruto would respond with 'were just friends' or 'she doesn't consider me more than a friend' . This for sure caused many doubts in her mind, doubts that always made her go back and rethink her plan for another day.

Naruto on the other hand kept looking at her chest. The moon was out the path they took was a bit darker than the main streets and the glow of the moon accentuated her rather growing bust line. Hinata had given up wearing that bulky jacket; all it did was making her feel rigid and uncomfortable since her skin couldn't breathe with such a bulk. But back to Naruto, the stealing glances turned to small stares to full-blown staring at her chest, with a bit of drool coming out of his mouth. Luckily for him, he tripped and his focus reverted back to saving his face from hitting the ground hard. At the last moment he regained his balance and with a scratch to his head told Hinata "ha ha, whoops" to which Hinata just smiled and kept looking forward.

Unbeknownst to Naruto though, Hinata noticed the outright staring of her chest by him and inwardly smirked at this sight. Taking lessons from her Sensei Kurenai and her friend Anko, on seducing the opposite sex (Anko threw in how to seduce the same sex as a free lesson to which Hinata never one to waste a lesson took full notes; the former for the future and the latter just in case) she did everything they taught her and ALL OF IT worked on Naruto! Her little Chibi Hinata was dancing for joy to be bringing Naruto's full attention on her and now to make the final move to seal the deal.

"Um Naruto-kun, it's such a beautiful night so calm and peaceful yet I'm loving how it's a bit warm at night; which is making me, want to take a dip by the Konoha river. Want to come?" she gave him an innocent smile and held out her hand so she could lead them.

Naruto after looking like a fool for almost tripping over his own feet quickly pondered and decided to follow her. With a nod and grabbing her hand they were off to the river.

The light sprint to the river worked up a sweat on them since the warm night plus running usually does that. Arriving at their location, they begin to undress to their underwear; chibi Hinata is Uber happy that she's finally going to tell Naruto how she feels and maybe get some eye candy or some real candy if he plays his cards right. The last thought made her blush madly but her confidence was at max and she was going to do this!

With their clothes piled neatly on the grass the two took sight of each other almost nude bodies and blushed up a storm! Naruto because he was watching for the first time, Hinata's skin and oh boy it looked like creamed milk and the glow from the moon and the river was making her look like a chibi goddess. Then he looked at her bust, which almost caused him to faint. He finally saw how big her bust was and he was in pain, since fighting off nature's reaction to seeing something beautiful was no easy task. Then to make matters worse, Hinata bent over to fix her clothes pile; Naruto almost lost it then! Luckily a bit of advice from the Super Perv came in handy for this, "when in pain, pinch a leg" Jiraiya's illusion head said to Naruto. But then the illusion head looked at Hinata and let out a long whistle "Damm gaki! You sure know how to pick them! Let me know all the details for my next book when you come back" he wiggled his eyebrows at Naruto letting him know that dirty details were the ones he needed only! "Gah, go away super perv"! And he quickly dissipated the Jiraiya illusion. (Miles away in Yukigakure the Super Perv A.K.A jiraiya of the Sannin was in a mission with his beautiful wife when his super perv senses tingled "must get all the 'good' info from the gaki". He then turned back to watching his wife seduce their target.)

Returning to Naruto, he had to big pinch marks on both of his legs; this greatly helped relieve him of his 'erect' problem. But he looked at Hinata still bending over, so it just came right back up.

Little Chibi Hinata was doing laps of joy that her plan was working 100%! She was going to offer her two sensei's all you can eat Dango and massages (although not done by her hand of course) for a WEEK! The moment of truth came and Hinata rose up turned around and began to say

"Well Naruto-kun let"- When all of a sudden some rustling of leaves attracted their attention of an intruder. She activated her Byakugan and noticed it was another Hyuuga but not just any Hyuuga this was her cousin. With a growl she yelled "neji-niisan what are you doing here?"

The older boy looked at her in her state of semi undress and asked "what are you doing Hinata-Sama in such a state of undress"?

"Naruto-kun and I are going to take a dip in the river, so if you don't mind please leave".

Naruto looked at her, and wondered why she was being cold and rude to her cousin, given he was kind of a douche still since the finals when he kicked his ass thoroughly but he had changed, changed enough to not warrant such treatment.

"Be that as it may be, but why are you two alone and why not with others?" This comment started to aggravate Hinata, since her plan was starting to go south and she needed to get rid of him quick.

"Neji-niisan, please either tell me why you're here quick or leave. We want to swim and you are hindering that." She answered with a bit of frostiness on the word hindering.

"Alright, alright don't bite my head off! Your father wants you home ASAP. So be quick about your swim with your boyfriend here and head home" Neji sneered at both. Returning the tone Hinata used on him.

Naruto of course had to open his mouth and say the words that mortify Hinata, "I'm not her boyfriend Neji, and you know were only friends." This brought back up all those feelings of doubt for Hinata and another well thought out plan ruined. She sighed resigned to try another time, AGAIN!

"Have a good night Naruto; I'm heading home with Neji. I'll see you later" with a sad tone, she took her clothes put them on and left with her cousin; leaving Naruto in his boxers with an erection that when noted by the owner made him curse to the heavens that not only has Neji seen it but the girl of his dreams seen it too! Oh why him! It was always him that this stuff happened to. Accepting this great embarrassment he gets dressed and heads home.

A few homes away from his apartment complex he notices someone he knows, Kenji. A recent friend for Naruto, the two met by chance and became fast friends during the reconstruction phase of Konoha after Orochimaru's invasion. Naruto waved and said" hey Kenji how are you doing tonight?"

Said person responded "pretty good Naruto. Hey I been meaning to have a talk with you about something, do you have some time right now?"

Naruto answered, "Sure it's a bit late but come on upstairs with me and we can talk".

They headed up the stairs Naruto opened the door, switched the lights on and sat on his couch pointing to the chair across from him for his guest.

"So what do you want to talk about Kenji?" Now Kenji being a 20 year old chunnin started thinking ways to start this conversation without giving away too much info at the wrong times. He sighed and just began.

"Naruto, What do you know of the name Uzumaki, your parents, your family and the Kyuubi law?"

These questions bogged Naruto for a while, since he never thought about his last name, knew nothing of his parents; he was always told he had no family alive by the Old Man. But he did know of the Kyuubi law thanks to Mitsuki-teme.

"Well for the first three questions I have to say I know nothing at all about them. But the Kyuubi law I know of. It's the law the Old man created so that people wouldn't know I held the Kyuubi and to keep it quiet there was a large punishment attached to the law."

Kenji smirked; oh this was going to be wonderful! "Well let me tell you from the order I asked you the questions. First, the name Uzumaki is a clan name, this clan hails from Uzushiogakure; a nation that still stands today." Naruto wanted to interrupt but Kenji raised his hand to stop further questions, "just listen for now."

"Where were we, oh yes? Uzu is a strong nation with the Uzumaki being the strongest of the clans in the village." Naruto was shocked to hear this; his last name was from a clan and a strong one at that! "Uzu was attacked during the second Shinobi War and was almost annihilated but was able to repel the invaders, being Kumo and Iwa, and reinforce their home. Konoha had an alliance with them at the time but they decided to cut their 'losses' and ended their alliance with Uzu, so that no other countries attacked Konoha for their alliances. This was seen as a great betrayal and outright embarrassment by Uzu. But they ate this bitter pill and decided to close off from the world and seal their borders. Being the Fuinjutsu master that they are, that was simple."

Kenji decided to let this settle into Naruto's mind before continuing, "You still have living family in Uzu from your mother's side! The current Uzukage and his wife and children are your blood relatives Naruto!" this caused said boy to freak out and then to shed some tears of finally knowing he has some family after all! "You are actually the son of not one Kage, your grandpa, but two kages; your father also! Minato Namikaze, the fourth Hokage, is your father!" this was another huge blow for Naruto, albeit a happy blow but a blow nonetheless. He is blood related to two kages…..what were the odds. "Your mother, daughter of the current Uzu Kage, is Kushina Uzumaki" he finally knew his parents name! Naruto was in tears, happy joyous tears; now he had a full family! He was beginning to formulate a plan to ask for permission to travel to Uzu and see his grandparents and family. But a question arose, 'why had the old man not told him about his family?' he always said he didn't know...He would find out later.

"Continuing, onto your dad's side of your family; you still have your grandparents alive". This was another shocker for Naruto. "They are two of the Sannins, Jiraiya and Tsunade Senju." This threw him into a bigger loop, it seems he has excellent genetic stock and all of his family is famous! " It seems your grandparents didn't want you though, since they knew you were their grandchild but did not come and take guardianship of you nor even say hello" Kenji's smirk was threatening to break his face, oh how he loved to torture people for fun. Naruto on the other hand really saddened that part of his family didn't want him at all. And the super perv taught him new things but never mentioned they were related or that he was his grandpa. This hurt him deeply; the feeling of betrayal of such degree dug the knife in deep.

"Finally we get to the Kyuubi law. You say you know it and mentioned what it was but there is more to that law" a confused Naruto asked, "really? Can you tell me what else it says?"

Kenji was more than happy to oblige" I sure can Naruto! The law states like you mentioned about the Kyuubi but it also states another part, which was added later on by the clan heads and ratified by the Hokage. The addition states 'that all the clan heirs will treat Naruto like a normal child, since he is an asset to Konoha as a weapon and an Uzumaki'. Naruto you are a weapon and only that for Konoha. No one really cares for you! Not even I!" showing his true colors, Kenji starts laughing at Naruto's pain and suffering. The poor boy confused and Hurt decides to run to clear his troubled mind. He runs to the Hokage monument and sits on the fourths head.

Meanwhile Kenji ends his torturous mocking since his victim ran away. Turns and heads for the door to leave Naruto's apartment thinking out loud "Orochimaru-sama will be so happy his new tool will be happy to run to him" smirking he closes the door and shuts off the light.

After calming down the tempest that was rampaging through his mind Naruto takes stock of his thoughts. Feeling extreme joy for knowing of his living family even though half of it didn't want him but greatly saddened all his life in Konoha was a complete lie! Then he kept thinking about all his 'friends' and how they tricked him….all so they could keep their weapon in Konoha. Then his thought came to Hinata-Chan…..the girl of his deepest crush, she was part of this too. If things had not hurt him enough, the thought of his beloved betraying him to such a degree; it hurt more than finding out about the super perv being his grandpa but not wanting him.

Naruto deciding to not pity himself anymore formulated a plan to escape Konoha and go to Uzu to where his real family was located and be with them. But first to trick the old perv into speeding up the leave date for the training trip and from there ditch him and head to Uzu.

After a few hours into the earliest hours of the morning his plan was complete and he decided to kick it into action. He began the signs to summon "Kuchiyose no jutsu" with a big poof of smoke his familiar Gamikichi arrived. "Yo bro. Why did you summon me so early in the morning?" he asked with a puzzled yet tired look. Anyone would be tired if they were woken up this early or downright upset and angry.

"I need you to do me a quick favor Gamikichi. sorry for waking you this early. Can you send a message to the old perv that I need to speak to him ASAP and that if he gets here quick I will show him a dirty pervert jutsu" Gamikichi looked at him with a confused look "don't worry the perv would know what it means" .

"Oh okay bro, I'll see you later" with a poof he was gone.

Plan 'get the hell out of Konoha' is a go.
