Naruto frowned as he looked over his last test score. He sighed and went to the lake and saw who he wanted and went out on the dock and waited. When he was done he said, "What do you want Dobe?"
Naruto sighed and said, "I need help."
"With what? And why come ask me Dobe?" said the boy
"Because you're the one slated for the Rookie of the Year spot in three months when we take the Genin exam Sasuke." Said Naruto who looked at the dock, "I need help with my school work. I've already taken the Genin exam three times. This is my last chance to pass before they ban me for good."
"And?" said Sasuke turning to look at him, "Why come to me for help? Show up for class and you'd pass your tests."
"I get that honest. But I need help getting my scores up before the exam. I'm good with Stealth, the henge and Kawarimi but the Bunshin jutsu is my worst one. I can't even do one clone right." Said Naruto, "I know a boy last year passed on book smarts and everything else. He couldn't do ninjutsu cause his chakra coils are messed up. He is strictly taijutsu only. So I know it can be done. But I need help getting everything up before the test day."
Sasuke sighed and said, "So you came to me."
"Yes look I know you don't like me alright. I know I'm annoying and I get you don't want friends and anything like that." Said Naruto, "But I will make you a deal. If you help me pass the Genin exam then when the time comes I'll help you kill Itachi for what he did. Because even if you manage it your not going to be able to do it alone. I'll help you catch him and then you can kill him."
Sasuke had to admit that sounded like a good deal and Sasuke said, "And how do you plan to help me?"
"I don't know but I can figure it out. We're going to be doing boring d-ranks before we're ready to do anything cool. So we have plenty of time to figure out how I can help you." Said Naruto, "Please help me pass."
"Why do you want to be a ninja so bad?" said Sasuke, "And don't give me that I want to be Hokage crap either. We both know that's a pipe dream that may or may not happen."
"Because my parents were great Ninja. I want to be a Ninja so that I can make them proud of me." Said Naruto, "My parents died the day I was born helping the yondaime with the fox. So I want them proud of me before I end up joining them."
Sasuke could understand that and said, "Alright I'll help you but that means you have to take this seriously. That means no goofing off, no messing around, and no more skipping class. And by no means are you wearing that god aweful orange thing you call clothes."
Naruto frowned then and in a quiet voice said, "I can't afford anything else."
Sasuke said, "I'll pay for it. But if your going to be training with me then your going to take it seriously got it."
"Got it Sasuke." Said Naruto
"Alright come on let's get you set up cause right now your seriously lacking." Said Sasuke
They crossed over to the bank and Sasuke said, "Do your clone jutsu? You always goof off then or skip so I have no idea what your attempts are like."
Naruto did the Bunshin jutsu and made a pale excuse for a clone that was on the ground looking dead and Sasuke raised an eyebrow and said, "Wow. Just wow Uzumaki."
"See I can't do it. That's better than before but it's not going to get me to pass." Said Naruto, "Plus I figured if I did the extra credit jutsus then I would be able to rack up enough points to actually get my hai-ate even if I can't do that one jutsu."
"Should be able to." Said Sasuke, "Come on."
They went into the village and Sasuke took him to a section of the village he'd never seen before and Naruto said, "Where are we exactly Sasuke?"
"My secret." Said Sasuke amused, "The shops on the market street are clan district shops so their expensive. Most of the clans go there hell even mine did before they were killed. But once when I was shoping with Itachi he brought me here. It's where the nins come that can't afford the expensive crap sold in the stores. They sell the exact same things the market district does but for way cheaper. In the market you can get a packet of 20 Kunai for 60ryo. Here you can buy the same 20 kunai for 30ryo. It's half the price of what the market sells it for."
Naruto was shocked and said, "I didn't even know this place existed."
Sasuke chuckled and said, "Most don't bother coming out here. Most just pay the inflated price. But I prefer to come here. I can get more for less money. Not that I can't afford the shops I just prefer not to pay the sales price when I can pay the wholesale price."
When they went into the shop the cashier smiled at them and said, "Welcome to my shop boys. Feel free to look around. If you need help don't hesitate to come ask."
Naruto only stared at her in shock and she laughed and said, "Relax Uzumaki you'll have no problem with anyone in this district. We're ninja run and owned not civilian."
Naruto smiled and followed Sasuke who looked at him weird and he quietly said, "The shops either won't sell to me or they make me pay twice what it's worth. The 20 kunai for 60 ryo would be 120ryo for me."
Sasuke shook his head and said, "Let me guess cause you were born the day the fox was here and cause you have the marks on your face they think you are him?"
"Pretty much yeah." Said Naruto quietly, "The teachers are no different. So I have to pull off some huge crap in order to pass."
Sasuke said, "No worries you will."
Sasuke went through the clothes and picked out two sets of cargo pants and said, "Which ones?"
Naruto looked and saw one was pure black which he didn't like cause it was to obvious for a Ninja and the other one was red camafalgued and Naruto said, "Red ones. Black is to obvious for a Ninja."
Sasuke picked up two weeks worth of red camoghed pants. Then went over to the shirts and looked through them and said, "Alright what color do you absolutely not want?"
"Anything green or yellow." Said Naruto gagging
Sasuke snickered and said, "So your alright with Pink then?"
"You do and I will shove my foot so far up that pompous ass of yours you'll taste your own shit." Said Naruto coldly
Sasuke shuddered and said, "I wouldn't do that Dobe."
He grabbed several of them all different colors he even grabbed a few bright orange sleeveless ones since Naruto liked that color and a small amount wasn't so bad. He then went over to the jackets and looked through them and said, "So which one?"
In one hand he had a bloodred jacket and the other was a black one and Naruto noticed the pictures on the back and said, "What's on the back of them?"
"The red one has a white fox and the black one has a white wolf." Said Sasuke smiling, "The fox has nine tails and the wolf ironicly has ten."
Naruto snickered and said, "I like em both actually but that's just me."
So Sasuke grabbed seven of each of them and went over to the counter and placed them all on there and said, "You dye bandgaes yes?"
"Yes we do." Said the woman smiling at them, "Any color you want specifically?"
Sasuke said, "Make them to match the pants if you can please."
"I can do that actually." Said the woman pulling a box, "How many rolls?"
"Make it an even 20." Said Sasuke
"Alright give me a few moments." Said the woman
Naruto looked at everything and said, "Thank you Sasuke."
"Welcome but do know I didn't just buy this cause you asked me to help." Said Sasuke looking at him, "I really want you out of that horrid jumpsuit. You'll get killed the first chance you get out of this village wearing that thing. And not just cause the person is your enemy. They'll want to destroy it."
Naruto cracked up and Sasuke joined him and Naruto once calm said, "Yeah well to be honest I hate this damn thing. But when it's all the shop guy will sell you. You take what you can get as opposed to running around naked."
"True I'm not disagreeing. I'm just saying it's really really bright and loud." Said Sasuke who couldn't help it and added, "Like your personality."
Naruto snorted then busted up and said, "Nice one. Nice set up and delivery."
"Thank you." Said Sasuke
The woman came back and placed them on the counter and said, "Alright with those it comes to 120 even."
Sasuke paid for it and said, "Thank you ma'am."
When they left Sasuke took him to another store and got kunai, shuriken, and other essentials. He even went so far as to get storage scrolls and weights for Naruto to use. While Sasuke was doing that Naruto was told to look around. So he was and had picked up a book and was reading it and the older man sitting against the wall said, "Don't bother with that one blondie. I've had that book in this shop for several years and no one's been able to read it."
Naruto looked at him and Sasuke who placed stuff on the counter said, "How come sir?"
"It's encrypted somehow and no one has been able to read it." Said the man, "I only keep it cause I've had it for so long."
Naruto said, "I can read it."
"Bull crap." Said Sasuke
The man said, "What's that book's title? That much I do know kiddo."
Naruto looked at the cover and said, "The complete guide to seals from Beginer to master."
The man looked at him and said, "Holy shit you can read it."
Naruto shrugged and said, "Don't know why it's so hard. Looks like any book I've ever picked up."
Sasuke opened it and said, "What the hell are you talking about Dobe this is all gibberish. Not one word in here makes sense."
Naruto pointed to a cluster of random letters and said, "That word is intermediate."
Sasuke went to put it back and the old man said, "Blondie take it with you. You can have it for nothing. I've had that thing since I started this store when I was 26. So go right ahead and take it."
Naruto took the book Sasuke handed him and said, "Thank you sir."
"Welcome." Said the man who laughed and said, "Though you should probably go get a bloodlimit test done kid."
"Why exactly sir?" said Sasuke as the man rang them up
"Because that book is the complete guide from begginner to master for Uzumaki seals not normal nin seals." Said the man taking the money and giving their change, "The fact he can read it means he's an Uzumaki somewhere. They have a bloodlimit that excelorates their aging until their 12 or 13." He laughed, "He might not even be 12 years old but just look it."
Naruto said, "No I'm 12 sir. I was born the night the fox demon attacked."
"Yeah that's one way to keep track of how old you are." Said the man, "Still don't change what I said kid."
Naruto smiled and said, "Guess I'll have to then."
Sasuke looked at him and said, "No you won't. Your name is Uzumaki Naruto. So you are one dobe."
"No the Hokage said I was given the name Uzumaki in honor of them. Not because I was one Sasuke." Said Naruto, "So unless the old man lied to me…"
"Your not one. Which brings to question of how you can read that book?" said Sasuke
"Especially when only another Uzumaki can read it." Said the man smiling, "It's what made their guides so damn hard to crack. The Sandaime himself has scrolls upon scrolls of their seals and he can't make head or tails of them and he's been trying for years."
When they left the store and district Sasuke said, "Come with me dobe."
The entered the building and Sasuke told him to sit down and went to talk to the woman at the desk who came over and said, "I need you to bare your arm for me Naruto."
Naruto did just that and she took out a needle and vile and drew blood from him before going in back and Sasuke said, "Now we just wait."
"Going to do the test the old man suggested?" said Naruto
"Yes we are." Said Sasuke who handed him a scrap of paper, "Put chakra into that."
"Why what's it do?" said Naruto
Sasuke did it only for it to burst into flames on one half of the paper and the wrinkle on the other half and he said, "I'm fire and Lightening. It's chakra paper it's tells you what affinities you have. I knew about the fire as all Uchiha have a fire affinity. Was surprised about the lightening. But hey that makes me cool."
Naruto snorted and said, "Conceided much man."
He added chakra and the paper split and Sasuke said, "Wind hard to come by in this village." Only for the paper to split again making four, "Ok that was weird."
Then one section burst into flames and turned to ash. The second section wrinkled. The third section became wet. And the last one turned to dirt and cumbled away and Sasuke said, "Holy lord buddah your all five affinities."
Naruto said, "Is that good?"
"Good that's execlent. That means you can learn any jutsu you want easily." Said Sasuke
"Uchiha-san we're done." Said the nurse handing him the paper.
Sasuke took it and said, "Thank you Mrs. Hyuuga."
She bowed and went back to her desk and Naruto said, "Ok I'm confused. She's hinata's mom."
"Aunt actually. She's her cousin Neji's mother." Said Sasuke who unfolded the paper, "Let's see well you have the Uzumaki bloodlimit."
"So he did lie then?" said Naruto in a hurt tone
"Probably for a reason Naruto. Like you're a parents had enemies that could hurt you." Said Sasuke reading through it, "Want a real shock?"
"What?" said Naruto
"Ino, Shikamaru, Choji, and Kiba are your cousins. You have the Nara, Yamanaka, Akimichi, and Inuzuka bloodlimits." Said Sasuke amused, "Ok this isn't possible?"
"What?" said Naruto
"Well according to this you have both the Sharingan and the Bakugan but that's not possible since they'd cancel eachother out. Plus you have the Senju's momochi too." Said Sasuke confused, "If you had both my clan's and the Hyuuga clan's bloodlimit then you'd be blind."
Naruto said, "Well I'm not."
"Exactly." Said Sasuke
"Maybe I have something similar to the two of them and the test only registered that it was similar." Said Naruto
"Possible. Well I know the Sharingan is accessed through stress. So maybe yours is too." Said Sasuke
"Stress how." Said Naruto
"I have no clue. I don't have mine right now." Said Sasuke, "But it's something to think about."
"Maybe the Akimichi one is the reason I can eat as much as I want and not puke." Said Naruto
"Could be especially if you can't shut it off. Might also be why your so short too." Said Sasuke, "I mean if everything you eat is converted into chakra then there would be nothing left for your body to use toward growing."
"Ok so back on the topic of the exam. How do we do this exactly?" said Naruto
Sasuke stood up and said, "Come on I need to find someone. They can fix your clone problem."
They were walking and Naruto said, "How so exactly?"
"Well an afinity clone is still a clone. So since your earth I know of only one nin in this whole village who knows earth jutsus and that is Hakake Kakashi. So we ask him to teach you the earth clone jutsu in place of the normal one taught at the academy." Said Sasuke
"And if that don't work?" said Naruto
"Then we ask the Sandaime to allow you access to the scroll for it from the jutsu library. I want to ask Hatake before I go that far. It's easier to learn when someone is teaching you as opposed to reading it and learning it from a scroll." Said Sasuke as they came to a bar, "Is Hatake Kakashi in by chance?"
The guy at the door looked and said, "Yeah. Why?"
"Can you ask him to come out here? We need to speak with him." Said Sasuke politely
The guy left and when he returned he said, "He says he'll be out as soon as he finishes his drink."
"Alright thank you sir." Said Sasuke
They moved away from the bar and Sasuke said, "Jonin club only those of that rank or higher can enter."
"So he could be completely tanked." Said Naruto
"Better for us. He'll be more compliant if he's drunk." Said Sasuke
A fit relatively tall shinobi with spiky silver hair and dark coloured eyes. He wore a normal jonin outfit, a konoha flack jacket, dark blue pants, and a long sleeve shirt with the addition of wearing shorter fingerless gloves with metal plates on the backhand. His hai-ate was tilted covering his left eye and he wore a face mask completely obscuring his face from view. In his hand though sat an orange book.
"What you want boys?" said Kakashi turning the page
"Can we go somewhere more private to talk then in the middle of the street?" said Sasuke
Kakashi used the Shunshin jutsu and took them to training field 7 and said, "Alright we're alone."
Sasuke said, "We were wondering if you wouldn't mind helping my classmate here. He bombs the normal academy bunshin but has earth as an affinity. I was thinking an earth clone would work just as well. And you're the one who knows earth jutsus so I figured asking you would be a good place to start sir."
Kakashi said, "How bad are we talking here for bombing it?"
Naruto did the jutsu and said, "This."
Kakashi looked and raised an eyebrow and went back to reading and said, "Your frying them. Your chakra control sucks."
"So can you show him the earth clone? Cause I doubt he can get his control to a point where he can do that jutsu in the three months we have till graduation." Said Sasuke
"Oh he won't get it down that far. But an earth clone is going to be just as hard for him to do as that one." Said Kakashi, "Their both e rank jutsus."
"Crap." Swore Naruto, "So what now Sasuke?"
"I have no idea Naruto." Said Sasuke as he sat down, "I mean I know there are water clones and lightening clones too. But they'd be e-rank too I would assume."
Kakashi frowned and said, "What good would those do him?"
"He's all five affinities." Said Sasuke noncholantly
Kakashi put the book away and said, "I know one I can show him but he can't tell anyone where he learned it."
"How come?" said Sasuke whose eyes turned cold, "Don't want people to know you taught the demon brat."
Kakashi was taken aback by the hostility and said, "No in fact I'm one of the few who knows Naruto isn't the demon. I trust my Sensei completely. I merely meant that the jutsu is forbidden. It's a Jonin level jutsu and shouldn't be taught to ones like you because it could kill you."
Naruto said, "Then why offer it to me?"
"Because your probably the only one who could benefit from it." Said Kakashi who did the jutsu and the clone pushed Naruto onto his backside before despelling, "Their solid clones called Shadow clones. Their used for infultration because they retain memories. Anything your clone sees, hears, or experiences you will remember completely. Because his chakra reserve is so big he'll be able to create a mini army with them. You can use them to train. You'll have to do the physical portion yourself but the rest of it they can do."
"OK I'm game." Said Naruto smiling as he got up
Kakashi taught him and Naruto did it and jumped for joy when it worked and Sasuke said, "Holy shirt dobe."
"My point exactly. Ten of you come here." Said Kakashi who went over and taught them a jutsu and said, "Once one of you makes progress despell until your all gone."
He went back over and said, "Alright ten go do the leaf exercise."
"I can't do that. It flys off my head." Said Naruto
"Use ten leaves on various parts of your body and keep them all there for an hour then despell." Said Kakashi
They went to do that and Kakashi counted and said, "The twenty left split off and I want ten of you to follow my clone."
He created a clone and they went off and Kakashi said, "The remaining ten take your wepons and work on your target practice."
They did that and Sasuke looked around and said, "Wow seriously wish I could do that. Would make things easier."
"Him using the clones is no different that you having the Sharingan active Sasuke." Said Kakashi who sat down with them and said, "You got your school work boys?"
"Yes sir." Said the boys
They pulled it out and Kakashi noticed something and said, "Naruto let me see your books."
Kakashi looked through them and shook his head before leaving and Sasuke said, "What was that all about?"
"I have no clue. But this is cool. It's like we already got a sensei." Said Naruto amused
"True." Said Sasuke amused, "At least you anyway."
"Nah I'm sure if you asked he'd show you something. I mean you are lightening and he is lightening. Hatake are by bloodlimit lightening affinity." Said Naruto pointedly
When he returned he handed him new books and said, "I replaced the ones that were damaged with new ones. Iruka was quite shocked to know they were that bad Naruto."
Naruto took them and said, "Thank you sir. But my other teachers did that when they gave them to me."
"I am aware kiddo." Said Kakashi as he sat down and saw the test and said, "You really need to study more kid."
Naruto blushed and Sasuke snorted and said, "See told you that you need to quite skipping class so much. Sides you want to turn into your lazy and reckless cousin."
Kakashi said, "What do you mean Sasuke?"
"Naruto took a bloodlimit test earlier. He found a book in the Shinobi district that was Uzumaki only and read it so the guy gave it to him. He suggested getting one done and we did. Turns out that the Sandaime lied about him being an Uzumaki in honor only and he is an Uzumaki by blood. He also has the Nara, Akimichi, Yamanaka, Inuzuka, Hyuuga, Uchiha, and Senju bloodlimits." Said Sasuke
"That's news to me. The Yamanaka I would believe cause both your father and you have blonde hair and blue eyes like their clan. As for the other ones I have no clue. The Senju could be from your mother. She might have been from Lady Mito's family line after she married Hashirama senju our first hokage. As for the others I have no clue." Said Kakashi
"Naruto thinks cause the Hyuuga and My clan's bloodlimit would cancel out and cause blindness that maybe it's similar to them and the test only showed that." Said Sasuke, "And that the Akimichi one is responsible for his monsterous appitite. I think if everything is converted into chakra his short stature is cause there is nothing left for his body to use to grow with."
"That could be actually. I'll talk to Choza and see if maybe he can come up with suppliments to help you with that." Said Kakashi, "Though what's the Uzumaki one do?"
"Excelerated growth until 12 or 13. The owner seemed to think Naruto might be younger than 12 and just look it cause of the bloodlimit." Said Sasuke
"Naruto humor me and stand up and remove your jacket and shirt for me." Said Kakashi
Naruto did just that and Sasuke said, "Where are all those from?"
"Ignorant people." Said Naruto shrugging
Kakashi frowned and then checked him over and Sasuke said, "What's with the large seal dobe?"
"Don't know actually." Said Naruto
Kakashi looked at him in shock and said, "The sandaime's never explained why people act the way they do with you?"
"Nope just says to ignore them and they'll figure it out eventually. I just got to be patient." Said Naruto
"Sounds more like he's telling you to let them hurt you and do nothing to stop them to me." Said Sasuke
"Me too." Said Kakashi who sighed, "Alright this stays between us alright. It can get me in a lot of trouble. And I mean a lot of trouble."
Both boys said, "Yes sir."
"The night you were born the Yondaime Minato, my Sensei, he confronted the fox. Now what you've been told about him destroying it is a lie." Said Kakashi, "He sealed it actually. That large seal you two saw is the seal that keeps the Nine-tails at bay. He sealed it into Naruto because he was a newborn child and could handle the fox's chakra more than another child. Plus he trusted you more than anyone in the world and believed you would grow up to do great things and would need the fox's help in achieving them."
Naruto was shocked and said, "That's why everyone hates me?"
"Yes it is Naruto because they are ignorant people. They don't understand how sealing works." Said kakashi, "They think Minato-sensei sealed the fox into human form. Or that once the fox was sealed you cesed to exist and you are really the fox in desgise just bidding your time to finish what you started."
Sasuke said, "Naruto." He looked at him, "Your no different than a storage scroll. You're the scroll and the fox is the kunai. When you seal something in a scroll it doesn't stop becoming what it was and the scroll doesn't become what is sealed in it."
"Exactly Sasuke thank you. That is the simplist I have ever heard that explained." Said Kakashi eye smiling before looking at Naruto, "Sensei wanted you viewed as a hero. He had a lot of faith in this village Naruto." He put his hands on his shoulders, "You are the bravest boy I know and you are the true hero of this village."
Naruto nodded and said, "Thank you for telling me."
Kakashi smiled and said, "Welcome. But just remember I didn't tell you nothing. That is a tripple s-rank secret that holds the penalty of death if spoken by anyone not the Hokage or yourself Naruto. I could be executed for telling you that."
Both boys nodded and Sasuke said, "Naruto should've been told when he was old enough to understand especially when people are physically hurting him."
"I agree hence why I told him." Said Kakashi who went back to checking and said, "Turn around for me."
Naruto did and Kakashi went to checking and Sasuke said, "What are you doing?"
"Looking for extra seals. And I found three of them." Said Kakashi, "He should only have the one on his stomach. These three near the base of his skull shouldn't be here."
"What are they for exactly?" said Naruto
Kakashi drew them and said, "Not sure kiddo. But I'm gonna find out."
He did the summoning jutsu and said, "Take this to Jiraiya and ask him what they do and how to remove them without harming the one bareing them. And ask him if they are his work or not."
The small pug-like dog with brown fur and a dark brown snout and ears wearing a blue vest with the Heno-heno-moheji seal and a Konoha Forehead protector and a bandage on his right front leg took the book and disappeared and Naruto said, "Now that was cool."
Kakashi chuckled and said, "That was Pakkun. He's one of my Ninken summons. I have a pack of 8 actually. Their similar to the Inuzuka's familiars."
When Pakkun came back he said, "Jaraiya says their not his. Probably Hiashi's or Danzo's seals. He asked who bore them?"
"Naruto." Said Kakashi
Pakkun left and when he came back he only whistled and said, "Ooh was that man pissed off. I'm not a coward Kashi but please don't send me back there. I'd rather deal with Anko when she's eatting Dango than do that again."
"Did he say what they did?" said Kakashi
Pakkun put his pink padded paw on one seal and said, "Chakra disruption seal." He put his paw on the next one, "This one he said would mess with his head. Make things harder to learn than they should be basically." He put his paw on the last one, "This one is to seal off any and all bloodlimits."
"Did he say how to get them off?" said Kakashi
"He said ask his Sensei. He'd come do it himself but he's way over near Kumo at the moment. Says if you try it you could end up locking him in his body with no way out of it." Said Pakkun
"Yeah we so don't need that." Said Kakashi who handed the shirt and Jacket to naruto, "Put those back on kiddo. We're gonna go see the Sandaime to get those removed. We'll leave the clones here to work. My own clones still here so he can supervise them."
Sasuke packed up and Naruto said, "Kakashi-san can you show Sasuke how to do Lightening jutsus."
Kakashi laughed and said, "Yeah as soon as he graduates."
Both boys looked at him weird and Kakashi moved his hai-ate and showed them his eye and said, "Sasuke will be on my genin team when he graduates. So I'll show him then."
"That's cool. Least I know who I end up under. Now I just have to figure out who my teammates are going to be and then I'm set." Said Sasuke amused
"Whose the dead last, Kunoichi of the year and Rookie of the year?" said Kakashi as they walked away
Naruto reached down and lifted Pakkun up and pulled an Inuzuka and placed him on his head as he said, "Sasuke's rookie of the year."
"And Naruto is the dead last so far." Said Sasuke
"And Kunoichi of the year is a toss up between Sakura and Hinata." Said Naruto
"Ok then your teammates will be Naruto and either Sakura or Hinata." Said Kakashi, "The rookie of the year is always placed with the dead last and the kunoichi of the year."
"No exceptions?" said Sasuke
"Only time there was an exception was before the third war back when your parents were in school. The rookie of the year was Namikaze Minato. The Kunoichi of the year was Uzumaki Kushina. And the deadlast of the year was Hyuuga Hiashi. Minato-sensei was aprenticed to Jiraiya-sama so he went to his team with two others who Jiraiya aprenticed. Kushina and Hiashi ended up on a team with Hiashi's identical twin brother Hizashi. That was the only time the three weren't placed together. So since neither of you is apprenticed then you two will be together on a team with either Sakura or Hinata." Said Kakashi
"Cool." Said Naruto smiling, "See and we were trying to figure out how to make that work."
Sasuke smiled and said, "Yes that is easier."
Pakkun said, "Make what work pups?"
Naruto looked at Sasuke who said, "Naruto asked for my help in getting ready for the Genin exam."
"I offered that if he helped me then I would help him when the time came." Said Naruto
Kakashi frowned but kept quiet and when they entered the mission room Hiruzen smiled and said, "Hello Kakashi what can I do for you today?"
"Sir can we go speak in your office please?" said Kakashi not taking his eyes off his book, "It concerns Naruto."
Hiruzen stood up and said, "Come on then."
They all four entered the room and Hiruzen activated the seal on his desk and said, "You can speak freely now Kakashi."
"Sir it seems someone has placed three extra seals upon him." Said Kakashi putting the book away he handed the book to Hiruzen, "Those are the three in question. I sent Pakkun to Jiraiya to ask what they were and how to remove them. He said to come see you. He's near Kumo or he'd come do it himself. He says one is a chakra disruption seal. Another is a mind alter seal. It's used basically to make the brain work harder at finding answers that would other wise be easily found. And the third is to seal any and all bloodlimits he has. To which he has nine sir. Sasuke and Naruto did a bloodlimit test earlier today."
Sasuke pulled out the results and gave them to Kakashi who gave them to Hiruzen who took them and said, "This is news to me. I expected the Uzu one actually."
Naruto said, "Jiji why did you lie to me about that exactly?"
"I didn't lie Naruto." Said Hiruzen who held up a hand, "The Daimyou has declared the Uzumaki clan dead. So you can't claim to be one and I can't give you anything your mother left you because of it. I merely told you that it was in honor of them so it was easier on you is all."
Sasuke said, "But wouldn't showing that test to the Daimyou get him to change his mind though?"
"It might if I have Naruto's birth certificut to back it yes. But I don't want you to get your hopes up kiddo. He is a very stubborn man." Said Hiruzen, "Come here Naruto and we'll remove them."
"Sir Jiraiya said they were either Hiashi's or Danzo's seals sir." Said Kakashi
Hiruzen said, "Where are they?"
"Base of his skull." Said Kakashi, "Just below his hairline."
Hiruzen turned him around and looked and said, "Bastards. Pakkun go get Hiashi for me. If their his he can remove them then explain himself."
Pakkun left to get him and when he came in he said, "Sir?"
"Did you place these three Hiashi?" said Hiruzen showing him the seals on Naruto's neck
"No sir those aren't mine. I would never have placed those on him." Said Hiashi, "Kushina would return from the grave and murder me if I did that."
Kakashi snorted and said, "Your probably right about that."
Hiruzen said, "Then their Danzo's and he has some serious explaining to do."
Hiruzen removed them one by one and said, "There you go my boy. There all gone." He looked at Kakashi, "Those the only ones you found?"
"I started at the top of his body sir. I never finished his back after finding those three." Said Kakashi, "I didn't think there would be anymore."
Hiruzen had him remove his jacket and shirt and checked and said, "Oh I am going to murder those coniving old fools I call teammates."
"Sir?" said Hiashi and Kakashi
"He has several more." Said Hiruzen
"For what Hokage-sama?" said Sasuke
"Let's see a loyalty seal, a compliance seal, a supression seal, and a tracer seal tied into a suicide seal." Said Hiruzen
"What does that do exactly?" said Naruto
"Basically my boy it tracks you and if you leave the village walls it will activate the suicide seal which will deliver a leathal dose of poison into your system killing you in seconds." Said Hiruzen, "The loyalty seal is what makes it so you can't fight back it paralizes you when attacked by ones from your own village. The compliance seal makes it so you do whatever they tell you too. And the Suppression seal is the reason your always bouncing around this village like a jack rabbit on sugar smiling like a fool. It surpresses all emotions except the one they want you to feel. So basically they cut you off from everything except happiness and it's gotten worse because they've left it unmonitored for 12 years."
Hiruzen removed them all and said, "There you go kiddo there all gone. You don't have anymore on you."
Naruto turned and smiled at him and said, "Thanks Jiji."
"How long till those wear off?" said Kakashi
"Tomorrow actually. When he wakes up tomorrow he'll be his normal sealless self. So we're looking at a brand new Naruto tomorrow." Said Hiruzen smiling
Sasuke smiled and said, "Good don't need a hyper active knuckle head for a teammate anyway."
Naruto stuck his tongue out at him and Sasuke said, "Ooh very mature dobe."
"Bite me teme." Said Naruto
"Ok you two settle down. We don't need a war on our hands." Said Kakashi
Both boys stopped and said, "Yes Kakashi sensei sorry."
That surprised them and Kakashi said, "I told them I'd be Sasuke's Jonin instructor and since current standins have him as the rookie and Naruto as the dead last their together with either Hinata or Sakura as the other member. Their tied for top girl."
"Ah." Said Hiruzen
"Pray you get Sakura boys. My daughter would only be a burden on your team." Said Hiashi before leaving
Naruto frowned and said, "So I'm good then?"
