He came back here to this place, he had follow the two pidgins, one with red markings the other with purple. They led him to the shore where two stones laid and the fallen moon. The stones where colored, One red and one a dark blue and he understood what the birds meant.

He picked up the two stones, and nodded to the pidgins,

"Rose, Father."

The red stone shone in recognition of the man, it was warm for that moment.

The man turned around and started to leave.

" I know." he said to the birds which in return flapped there wings and flew off into the sky.

I know, Rose, father..

8,000 years later.

Chapter 1 Enter Naruto Uzumaki!

The boy with blonde spiky hair jumped from building laughing as hard as he could. He had goggles around his forehead an orange jumpsuit of which the jacket was tied around his waist, and he wore a grayish shirt. He had a paint bucket in hand and pulled off the most unbelievable thing. High above the village were carved faces in the mountain side and the blonde boy had painted them in a disgraceful way, several shinobi were chasing him but the couldn't keep up.

"give it up!" the blonde laughed some more. "you're just mad cause you don't have the guts to do what I just did! Do ya? Losers! Wannabe's! you'll never catch me! HAHAHA!"

One of the ninja ran to the Hokage's office were he, an old man who the years have not been kind to with a smoking pipe in his mouth, was painting the scroll with the letters of a message.

"Lord Hokage! It's an emergency!" he yelled in sure panic.

The Hokage already knew what it was but asked anyway, " don't tell me you're bothering me with some trivia and don't tell me it has to do with Naruto again." the old man said to the panicked ninja.

"it is Naruto again! He's painted the Hokage stone faces!"

" he put graffiti all over them!" another added.

The lord Hokage just sighed and the smoke came out of his pipe following the sigh.

The boy named Naruto had hidden himself well from his captors and giggled with delight when they could not find him.

"that was to easy!" he laughed.

"Oh yeah, Naruto!" an angry voice came from behind. A tall man with a scar across his nose look down at the boy, with his hands on his hips. Naruto Jumped and looked at the man with one thought,

Busted.

"where'd you come from Iruka-sensei? What are you doing here?" he asked a bit shocked that he had been found out.

"No, what are you doing here, Naruto. You're supposed to be in class" the man named Iruka said to the little blonde pointing a finger accusingly at him. Iruka lead Naruto back to his class room the blonde was pouting of course.

"you're at the end of my rope, Naruto!" Iruka was scolding Naruto in front of the whole class, and Naruto was tied up in a rope, to make sure he wouldn't run away again. " you failed the graduation exam last time and the time before that! Tomorrow you've got another chance and you're messing up again!" the scared face said with his arms folded in front of his chest. Naruto turned his head away from the teacher his eyes closed as if he didn't care. "Bah! Because you missed it, Naruto! EVERYONE will review the transformation jutsu!" The teacher yelled out to the class, earning a long 'aww' from the rest of them. He had them lined up the first to go up was a long pink haired girl she put her hand in a sign and said with confidence " alright Sakura here, lets do it." a poof a smoke appeared and when it cleared the girl called Sakura had transformed her self into an exact copy of the teacher.

Iruka was pleased with it, he nodded approvingly. "good" he said.

Sakura changed back she was very proud of herself and a bit cocky as she did it in front of a boy she liked " Oh, Sasuke, did you see that!" she asked hoping to get a positive replay from a raven haired boy who had black coal eyes. He pushed it off as whatever.

"next, Sasuke Uchiha!" Iruka called out as Sakura went back to her seat and the boy came up. He did just as well as Sakura, if not better, "good, good" Sasuke transformed back to himself and walked off. "next Naruto Uzumaki!"

" this is a total waste of time, Naruto." a tall boy with long black hair that was pined up said toward the blonde, with an amount a disapproval in his voice, but the tall boy seemed like he didn't want to do much anyway.

"we always pay for your mistakes" A long hairs blonde girl who's hair was almost a white, she had blue eyes and seemed like a little spoiled girl had added.

"like I care," he fumed as he walked forward he was supposed turn into Iruka, but he had other plans he smiled mischievously and made the hand sign, Iruka braced himself knowing he would try something…

But what he did was out of the question, and totally uncalled for.

He transformed into a naked woman, with smoke swirling around her, she blew a kiss toward Iruka who, like almost any man would, practically died at it, and his nose bled. Naruto transformed back laughing his butt off at his teachers reaction, and the whole class was in shock.

"got cha! That's my sexy jutsu!" he luaghed some more, before Iruka had went to scold him, more or less.

" CUT THE STUPID TRICKS! THIS IS YOU'RE LAST WARNING!" Iruka screamed at the top of his lungs.

Later that day Iruka personally made sure Naruto had cleaned off ever inch of the Hokage faces. With Naruto mumbling under his breath of course,

" you're not going home until you've cleaned off every single drop of this." Iruka said to Naruto.

" I don't care! It's not like I have anybody to go home to!" he yelled back and then went back to muttering to himself.

"Naruto" Iruka said after a while, he had a change in heart. "well, I was thinking maybe after you clean this all up, I could… treat you to some ramen over by icharaku's" he said thoughtfully. Naruto's face burst into a grin "Really? Then don't worry sensei! I'll have this cleaned up in no time!" he was very motivated by the word Ramen which was his favorite food. And sure enough Naruto had the mess cleaned up incredibly quickly. And just like Iruka promised, went out for some Ramen later that day.

The blonde was almost inhaling the food as if it were air. He giggled in-between bites and he was very happy. Iruka watched him thoughtfully,

"Naruto," he finally said.

"mm?" Naruto couldn't really talk since there was so much ramen in his mouth at the moment.

"why would you do that to the Hokage faces? I mean you know who the Hokage is, Right?"

"sure I do," Naruto said as he finished his bowl of ramen. "everybody knows, they were the greatest shinobi of their time, right? The best of the best, undefeated Ninja champs?" he thought for a moment " and the fourth Hokage saved the village from the nine tailed fox!" he said almost in awe. And Iruka was a little stunned,

" then why?"

" because I'm going to be greater than any of them! Me! Naruto Uzumaki! The next Hokage! A ninja legend!"

Iruka's face had 'what the hell?' all over it.

"oh and by the way sensei can I ask you something?"

"you want the rest of my bowl, don't you?" he asked halfheartedly, and was surprised when Naruto shook his head no/ he put his hand together and said " I wanna try on you headband, Please!"

" oh this" he said grabbing his head band on his fore head," no way. You have to pass the graduation exam to where one of these"

"oh man, No fair!" Naruto pouted. Iruka laughed.

A man in red armor looked at the towering frugel, the head warden of Helena prison, he grasped his sword and yelled out" why did you take Shana?" the girl behind him presumably Shana looked at the man in red armor, and held her hands together, and then looked at the head warden with fear in her eyes. She was afraid of the head warden, very afriad another man with blonde hair and silver armor over the green cloths he wore under it readied what looked like a spear. And the girl toke out a bow. The head warden laughed and laughed, and the the scene changed, Naruto looked around himself "huh? What? Where am I? What?" it was a field, more like a prairie to be exact, he walked around completely dumbfounded,

And everything went white and then green.

Naruto eyes shot open and sat up, " WHA-? " he looked around, shrugged and went back to sleep.

The next day

Iruka was going over the test, and Naruto sat there and waited, he thought nothing of his dream, well, A dream is just a dream, right? Then he heard the scarred teacher say.

" the final test will be on the clone jutsu."

Naruto mentally groaned, the cloned jutsu was his worst. When he was called up he summoned all his chakra, and thought to himself, alright get it together! he tried this time, he really did.. And made a clone….

A dead one.

Naruto was embarrassed and pouted there was no way he would pass now. Iruka's eye twitched and he yelled

"you fail!"

Naruto slummed to the ground clearly depressed

"Iruka-sensei, he was off, but he did hang in there and made a clone, and this is his third try," a pale face light blue haired man said to Iruka filling Naruto with hope, "we could let him pass."

"Mizuki-sensei, all the other students made at least three effective replications, and Naruto only made one, and look at it.."

Naruto went back to pouting. But inside he was fuming at Iruka. "I can't pass him" Naruto growled at that last sentence.

He waited though the rest of the people, and finally the school day was over, everyone had ran up to they're families and friends… except Naruto. Who had no family who waited at the swing set with a look of clear sadness. He saw two of them give him a look of pure disgust and hatred. They were talking and he knew it was about him, but he couldn't hear what they were saying and honestly, he didn't want to know. Naruto put back on his goggles and was getting up to leave, when he heard someone from behind he looked around and saw Mizuki-sensei smiling down on him. And he offered naruto to come with him for a talk.

They sat on the top of Mizuki's home on the roof, where they could see the setting sun and feel the cool breeze on their faces

"Iruka-sensei is hard, but he's not against you." Mizuki said to Naruto.

"then why? Why only me?"

" he wants you to be strong with all his heart, but that will never happen if he goes easy on you" Mizuki replied. " he's like you, you know? No parents, no family…"

"but..this time I really wanted to pass."

Mizuki chuckled, " then I guess I have to tell you."

"huh?" Naruto looked at the sensei.

"it's a secret but I'm going to let you in on it." he smiled, Naruto stared at him with wide eyes.

" you know of the scroll of sealing? If you can master on jutsu from it, you will automatically pass."

Naruto was awed, and he made a dedication to find that scroll of sealing and master just one jutsu from it… it couldn't be that hard, could it?

Iruka laid one his bed thinking about what lord Hokage had said and he remembered how his parents died.

The died protecting the village from the nine-tails, the nine-tails that was now sealed within young Naruto.

"Iruka-sensei. Wake up!" Mizuki's voice came through the door Iruka could tell from the tone it was something serious.

"what? What is it!" he asked Mizuki when he opened the door.

"you need to come to lord Hokage's right away."

Iruka was confused and Mizuki filled in.

"its Naruto, he toke the scroll of sealing"

"NO!" Iruka panicked why would Naruto go that far, it was unbelievable.

Naruto read the scroll "the first one is….multi-shadow clone.. Oh man that's my worst!" he groaned "well I guess I have to, if Mizuki-sensei was telling the truth" he started training and time after time again his clones were not coming out, not even illusions, and the more he did it the more frustrated he got with himself after several hours of hard work he was worn out, but he had managed to make several shadow clones, and they weren't illusions either. He was a bit happy with him self and then he heard footsteps from behind. Naruto out of enrgy slow looked up. "Iruka-sensei…" he chuckled "you caught me really quick, not bad, I only had time to learn one jutsu" he said scratching the back of his head. Iruka stared at Naruto noticing he had been working really hard. But why? What could this mean?

"listen sensei! I'm gonna show you this amazing jutsu and then you're going to let me pass! And then everything will be okay!" he said eagerly.

"huh?" Iruka wondered what the hell this boy was thinking" what made you think that?"

"Mizuki-sensei told me!"

Iruka's eyes widened "what?" he was clearly shocked.

"yeah, believe it! He told me were to find the scroll and this place…" his voice trailed of looking a Iruka's face.

Iruka sundenly shoved Naruto out of the way yelling "look out." Naruto stumbled dimbfounded at what was going on all he wanted to do was pass the exam, he didn't mean to cause trouble. Several kunai knife hit Iruka who shielded him self with his arms and heard Mizuki say. " so you've found our little hideaway?"

"so.. That's the way this is" Iruka looked up at Mizuki who was standing on a branch of a tree. " I should've known!"

"Naruto!" Mizuki turned his attention on to the boy, "give me the scroll. Now!"

Naruto didn't know what to do confused and scared he jut stayed put. "wait a minute, what's going on here? " he asked looking at both of them. Iruka pulled the kunai out of his leg, gasping at the pain. "Naruto, don't let Mizuki get the scroll!" he commanded firmly. "it contains forbidden jutsu, that could put this village in grave danger." Naruto was shocked, he had always pulled pranks and that kind of thing but he never in his life wanted to put the village in danger.

"Naruto. Iruka's just trying to scare because he doesn't want you to have the scroll"

Naruto didn't know what to believe anymore.

"stop lying. Mizuki." he looked to Naruto " don't let him trick you!"

Mizuki laughed " oh I'll tell you who's really lying, they've been lying to you your whole life. Since the decree twelve years ago"

"what decree?" Naruto asked a little scared to what he was saying.

"everybody knows except you, Iruka is trying to hide it even now, he'd do anything to shut me up." he smirked.

"what… are you talking about?" the boy asked his eyes wide.

"the decree is that the nine-tailed fox is inside you!" Naruto let out a gasp.

" the fox demon that killed Iruka's parent and destroyed our village has taken over your body!" Naruto shook his head in disbelief. Half of Mizuki said after that had barely reached him.

He was the nine tails

that's what Mizuki said, and he wasn't lying not by the way Iruka was reacting, that's why everyone avoided him, that's why he had no family or friends, It explained everything. No..

"no no no no no! he repeated to himself over and over, his chakra build up around him

"Naruto!" Iruka said mostly to himself

"Everyone hates you, even your beloved sensei!" Mizuki continued torturing Naruto with his words then he unstraped the large shurriken on his back and yelled, "Die! Naruto!" he threw it at him Naruto tried to crawl away and then heard Iruka yell out!

"Get down!" Naruto dropped with his hand above his head. When the blow didn't come to him he looked up and saw that Iruka had taken it for him.

"why?" was all he could muster

"because we are the same! When I lost my parents no seemed to care, they didn't even look at me. My grades dropped I became a class clown. I just wanted them to see me! And to know my name, my school work wasn't enough to get their attention, so I did crazy things, and then I had to pay for it. It was hard. I know that's how you feel, Naruto." tears streamed down Iruka's face. "you fell lonely and it hurts inside. And I could've been there more. But I let you down, I'm sorry, Naruto. No one should suffer like that, no one should have to feel like that."

Naruto stared at his sensei with a shocked face and then heard Mizuki's voice

" HA! Don't make me laugh! Iruka has always hated you, he was orphaned because the nine-tailed fox killed his parents! And the fox is now inside you! But he'd say anything to get the scroll from you."

Naruto looked at Mizuki with a saddend expression and did the only thing he knew to do at that moment.

He ran away from them he got on all fours and ran, even though Iruka called out for him to come back Naruto ignored them both.

Lord Hokage was watching the whole thing from his glass ball.

"this is bad, Mizuki has a big mouth, he made Naruto feel so bad, worse than his ever felt, it may unleash the power within him! If Naruto keeps tampering with the scroll the seal could be broken and the beast would be let out. If that happens.. I fear for us all.." the old man looked down at his lap, thinking.

Iruka had caught up to Naruto

"Naruto! Everything Mizuki said was a lie! Give me the scroll he's coming!" Naruto did the most unexpected thing he jumped up and hit Iruka hard in the stomach, to see a poof of smoke which revealed Mizuki.

"how did you know I wasn't Iruka?"

Then Naruto transformed revealing himself to actually be Iruka himself " because I'm Iruka!" he replied.

"You're a fool" Mizuki said standing up. " why do you protect that freak? He's the one that killed you're family!"

"don't care what you say, you're not getting that scroll."

"as if you could stop me, don't you get it? Naruto is just like me,"

"how that?" Iruka implied, in his eyes Naruto was nothing like Mizuki, nothing.

" he wants the scroll for his own power and his own vengeance, that's how beasts are." Mizuki put out his arms as if that was obvious. "he'll pour all his rage into the scroll and take revenge on the village"

"you're right" Iruka admitted.

Naruto who had been listening to the whole conversation let out a small gasp

"so its true," Naruto whispered to himself, his grip on the scroll tightened. " Iruka-sensei does hate me, he thinks I'm some kind of monster, some kind of freak!" then he heard Iruka speak again

" that is how beasts are, but Naruto isn't like that. Naruto is nothing like that, he is a one of a kind, he works hard and puts his whole heart into it. Sure he messes up sometimes but, his suffering only makes him stronger. that's what separates him from being a monster, he is nothing like the nine-tails he is Naruto Uzumaki, of the village hidden in the leaves!" Iruka stated firmly, and by the end of that Naruto had started crying. He felt sorry that he had ever doubted Iruka-sensei.

Mizuki had enough, he took the other large shuuriken and readied it at Iruka. And yelled "you're finished!" his blow was interupped by Naruto who head kicked Mizuki and the shuuriken went flying of in the other direction. He got up with one hand on the scroll and glared at Mizuki, " If you lay one hand on my sensei. I'll kill you!" he growled.

"such big words, I can destroy you with a single move!" but Naruto had already put his hand in a sign and replied

"Take your best shot fool, I'll give it back to you 1,000 fold!" Naruto was clearly pissed

"lets see you try! Show me what you can do, Nine-tailed Fox!" Mizuki yelled at him

"Shadow clone jutsu!" Naruto yelled out.

Iruka was astonished, Naruto had mad over 100 shadows clone, and not just illusions either, they were the real thing. That was a jutsu most elite Ninja had trouble with. The clones teased and shouted at Mizuki, and Mizuki didn't know what to do, he couldn't tell them apart at all, and he let out a scream of fear, he had lost all of his confidence at the mere sight of all the clones and well Naruto knocked Mizuki around until he had passed out from the beating.

After all that naruto chuckled and said that he thought he had overdone it, but Iruka had never been prouder of the blonde dork and he looked at Naruto and told him to come to him,and to take his goggles off he took of his own head band and tied it around Naruto forehead, and smiled at the boy, as morning came. Naruto was shocked but happy.

And now I am out of time guys see ya later!
