AN : Hey everyone. Here's yet another NaruSayu. I hate to admit, but the manga, no matter how good it is, does have a few flaws... But my stories does have a ton more...

Disclaim : I don't own Naruto.

Prologue

No more mask!

Naruto opened his eyes only to stare the white ceilling of the hospital. He felt a minor pain in his chest, and a major one on his heart. His teammate, best friend, and secret true crush fled the village. He knew Uchiha Sasuke's secret : The actually, Sasuke is not even her real name.

The last Uchiha was actually a she. Uchiha Sayuri. Naruto realised that he's still too weak. Either he does something about it, or he's really going to end up in a dilemma. Much sooner than he thinks though. He then decided to do something he should've done soo long ago : dropping his mask, being who he really is. His eyes changed, showing intensity long lost from the world. His teeth became sharper, and his blue eyes had slitted pupils.

"Naruto, are you feeling better?" The voice of the Godaime Hokage, Senju Tsunade came into his ears. Naruto turned toward her and showed her his feral grin. Tsunade swore she saw the eyes of a super predator, not those of a human being. Naruto used his hand to tell her to come closer. As the busty lady sat beside him, Naruto glanced at her with pleading eyes...

"Tsunade-baachan, could you please tell me the truth? Who am I? Who were my parents?" The way he asked her told her that he had years of pain and suffering that finally surfaced. She stayed quit as he continued, "Please, if they had a signature jutsu, could you let me learn them? I mean, I know they didn't abandon me, and that's all he said." Naruto put his hand on his stomach, exactly where the seal was. Tsunade sighed wistfully..

"They were great people, but their will was that you only know everything once you're a chunin." Tsunade said in a truthful yet cryptic tone. Naruto understood that if he's going to be promoted, he might do something really horrendous if he must, "If I'm to be promoted, and if they will activate the CRA on me, I swear to fled the village or make sure it ends!" Naruto threatened in a very serious tone before he continued, "I mean, love is not something to share, although I don't even know what it is..."

"Naruto, are you serious?" Tsunade asked in a slightly scared tone. She knew for a fact that Naruto can unleash the seal, somehow. Once it's done, well, Konoha is toasted. Naruto looked at her and she realised how serious he was. "Alright, about Uchiha Sayuri, her fate is on your hand." Tsunade told Naruto who sighed, "Don't do anything to her. I mean, it's not only for the village, but it will be a blow to yours truelly, if he lost one of his precious persons. She'll come back, I'll make sure of it!"

Tsunade smiled at the seriousness Naruto displayed. She can promote him right here right now, but she opted not to. She also asked the proctors, and realised that while most of them had a clouded judgement, Genma, Anko and Ibiki vouched for his courage, persistance and fearlessness, something only jonins had. She asked the ANBUs who replied that they once wanted to recruit him for his stealth and his cunniness. They also told her that sometimes he gives them a hard time pursuiting him, although they usually stick to chunin speed when he was an academy student.

Kakashi was kind of interrogated by Tsunade. The silver haired man told her that he planned on teaching him nature manipulation, but he couldn't squeeze enough time. Then the jonin palmed his face as he excused himself and bolted to the hospital...

"Hey Kakashi, came here to release me from my torment? To put me out of my misery? For my failure to retrieve your prised student?" Naruto asked with hollow, mirthless chuckles between the questions. Kakashi also noticed how Naruto didn't tell him sensei. He decided to put it aside for now.

"Naruto, it's about something else. I know your feelings for Sayuri..." Kakashi begun only for Naruto to be surrounded by a chakra cloak, "Don't you ever talk about her again!" Then like it came, it was gone. Naruto sighed, "You've choosen her over me. Sorry, but I can't see you as my sensei anymore. You had your time, I'll train however I please, and do whatevere I want. I quit being a ninja, you, Sakura, the ones who pretended to be my friends? We are done! I had enough of lies, I had enough of being cast aside. I had enough of my life. I'll be gone alright, but not before I do something about the one who was always truthful with me!"

As soon as Naruto finished his words, the Biju inside of him patched up his wounds using yang chakra to heal his tenant who ripped off his bandages and jumped all the way to his apparetement. Kakashi sighed. Naruto was completely truthful... The blond reached his apparetement only to see a tall white haired man standing his back supported by the wall.

"Naruto, don't blame Kakashi, he tried his best to help you, you know?" Jiraiya asked his student who was inside his apparetement. Naruto narrowed his eyes at the man, "You know? The only good thing about improsoning a Biju, is that I was never lonely, not when I get dumped by everyone, not when I do all I can for my so called friends, and get nothing, not even a warm meal, or a simple question how I am..."

"Tell me, are you my godfather or not? Just answer my question!" Naruto continued. Jiraiya asked him, "What if I am?" Naruto said nothing as he went inside and slammed the door before locking it and all his windows. He then begun schemming and planning what he should do now? No one of his classmates had come to visit him, he was sure about it. His teachers were backstabbers, even Tsunade was hiding the truth from him. Naruto was tired...

"Tired from that Uchiha doing everything without thinking, tired of the Haruno's and Yamanaka's screeching, tired of everyone who says they are my friends, only to stab me in the back, tired of holding the poor Biju inside of me, tired of being hated for protecting those fuckers, tired of my life, tired of my life, tired of being lied to by everyone..." Naruto ranted as he laid on the couch. He had enough of this bullshit he called life, he would've killed himself if not for one little detail : The kyubi wasn't full...

"Thanks for being a bit thoughtful, brat!" The kyubi said in his menacing voice. Naruto sighed at this, "Can't you tell me if you had another name? I mean, Kyubi isn't your real one I guess." The fox laughed at this.

"Nah! It ain't though. But to me my name is the only thing I got from one precious person." The Biju said. Naruto sighed, "I'd give anything to get you to your full size, then I can die at peace. I've lost my will to live, please, tell me why? Why couldn't I stop her? Why was I so weak? Why was I so stupid and naive? Whyyyyyyyyyy? Tell me you name, at least you were truthfull, I'm Uzumaki Naruto." The blond introduced himself to the Biju. The fox, finding only sympathy, sorrow, guilt and a lot of regret, decided to be truthfull for once about his name...

"Kurama. My name is Kurama! Don't you dare and call me by any other name!" The biju threatened/answered. Naruto grinned, "Kurama, I found your name fitting, powerfull, yet there's some pride in it. You really loved who named you huh?" Naruto said with a grin, "I guess we're too similar."

"If you want to control my power, you better become a sage!" Kurama said. Naruto nodded as he then grinned, "I guess I can give you your other half without any of us die..." Naruto said in a serious tone. "But what do you know about my seal?"

Jiraiya and Kakashi sighed. Naruto always had a mask, and neither of them realised until now. They were sitting before Naruto's apparetement which the door came flying outward and Naruto had a single tail behind him, and two Rasengan which he shoved into both men.

"This was for never telling me the truth! You thought I'd blabber it? That I'll tell everyone? Well the only friends I have are NOT in this village!" Naruto said in a calm, controled tone which was filled to the brim with rage...

Kakashi's and Jiraiya's eyes widdened with fear as Naruto gave them his hitae-ate with sorrow clear in his eyes, "I quit being a ninja. What is it for me? I've lost everything, and I'm tired, but at least, my death will release someone from his torment..."

"STOP NARUTO!" Jiraiya yelled at him, "No matter what, you have a few people that still love you, don't you ever forget that!" The white haired man said to Naruto who shook his head.

"Love, love, love, what does that even mean?" Naruto asked. "All I recieved is hatred and from the people I am protecting, why should I care for their lives? Being a Hokage means freedom or means doom?" Naruto asked seriously. Both Kakashi and Jiraiya laughed at him as they shunshined with him to training ground three.

"Look, Naruto, I apologise for not training you in anything but Taijutsu and a bit of teamwork exercices..." Kakashi begun only to be interrupted by Naruto, "You shouldn't. I know half of the truth, all I want to know is why? Why living me in hell? Gaara was right, but imagine, just imagine if he gets away, what can you all do, huh? None of you can get any Uzumaki to seal him in..."

"It was to protect you, and because I was lied to..." Jiraiya revealed, "I mean, don't you think I would've jumped to the opportunity to take you in?" Naruto glanced at him before he asked a few questions. Namely his plan, "By the way, I left many details when I learned the Kage bunshin, is there a way for it to explode? Can it help me shorten my training? Can it be aplied to kunais and shurikens? Also, is there a possibility that I can learn wood release?"

Those questions sealed the fact that Naruto was ANYTHING but an idiot. Especially the last one. Kakashi sighed as he replied to all of his questions.

"Yes, the Bunshin Daibakuha. Yes it does, but keep the number minimals. Yes, it's a different jutsu. I don't know?" The silver haired jonin replied before he gave Naruto a chakra paper. "This, my cute little student, is a chakra paper. It can reveal your affinity, so we can work on it first. Seeing you're firstly a ninjutsu type. Not as good as the other one, but you can easily surpass everyone with the right training."

Naruto glanced at Jiraiya who sighed. He planned to train Naruto in controlling the power of the Kyubi. "You know, I was planning to teach you how to control its power." Naruto glared at the Sannin before he replied, "No thank you. Teach me something better, like how to have another source of power... He told me that he'll only cooperate with me if I can be a sage, then we'll fight. Beside, it is HIS chakra, HIS power, not mine. I think it won't be a good idea, but when I'm ready, he'll let me use more tails, but he warned me about one thing : His power is more volatile that the wood release of Shodai-sama."

Kakashi's eyes widdened and so was Jiraiya, who opened his mouth enough to catch a salmon. Naruto tilted his head, "What, did I said something wrong?" Kakashi eyesmiled at this, "No, you grew up, Naruto. I'm proud to be your sensei. So, we'll train you to the best of our abilities, and hope you'll reach that potential." Kakashi announced before he asked him to make a Kage Bunshin and he did the same.

With the clones

"Naruto, Sayuri does love you, I don't know how you two met, or why, but I realised that she does..." Kakashi told Naruto who sighed.

"That I know. She told me that if I still feel the same, one day we'll get that date. She told me that whatever I'll do, she will always love me, and me only, even if I won't return the feelings. She swore that once she'll kill her brother and get the power of the eternal eyes that sees the truth, she'll come back. Kakashi-sensei, she told me to get stronger, much stronger. I think we both know where we're going. Were my parents strong shinobis, did they love me? That I don't know..." Naruto replied as Kakashi eyesmiled.

"If you'll see her again, after all this, what will you do?" Kakashi asked Naruto who roared like a theropoda..

"That's what I want to know? Maybe I'll bearhug her, maybe I'll kiss her, maybe I'll break a few of her bones?" Naruto replied as Kakashi shook his head.

"You two are definitely going to be a unique couple..." Kakashi said and Naruto grinned. The two clones dispelled and Naruto sighed at this.

With the senseis and student

"So, I have wind as my affinity, Yang as my secondary affinity... Is there any way to see more?" Naruto turned to Jiraiya who took a scroll made of chakra paper. Naruto channelled his chakra in it...

"Wind, Yang, Fire, Water, Earth, Wood, Boil, Lave... Holy shit Gaki, what kind of potential do you have?" Jiraiya asked in a terrified tone while Kakashi was sweating. Naruto sighed at this.

"I'll find a way I guess? I mean, first things first, time to learn the shunshin..." Naruto said and Kakashi ecplianed to the blond who got to training. A few more minutes and a few kage bunshins, it was done and Naruto can do it short range and long range.

'What kind of potential does he have?' Jiraiya asked himself as he saw that this kid does have a potential more than anyone else he knows or knew...

"Guess he's a late bloomer. Oh well..." Kakashi said as he showed Naruto a few jutsus, namely the Bunshin Daibakuha, Shuriken Kage bunshin, before he went to Tsunade and told her than Naruto might be ready for Kumo's chunin exam soon...

Also Naruto learned about his parents. He started training his body for the next three months. Also, he was able to learn the Kongo Fusa (Adamantine Sealing Chains) and a few Fuinjutsus within two weeks. He was so deep in training that he didn't notice someone coming at him by sheer luck...

"Naruto? Is that you?" Sakura, Shikamaru, Kiba, Choji and Ino said in shoc. The usually obnoxious blond became a cool guy? Just for wearing a muscle shirt.

"What? Is there a problem? What do you guys need?" Naruto asked in a cold tone that screamed; "Get the fuck away from me or else..."

"Nothing, we searched for you all this time..." Sakura begun only for a pair of icy blue orbs with slitted pupils to glare at her very soul.

"What do you need?" Naruto asked as his hand went to his newest toy : a black bladed ninjato.

"We were worried about you and we wanted to meet at the Yakiniku Q, all of us." Shikamaru said wisely as Naruto palmed his face.

"There's no us. Either me or you, who needs ya anyways? I never felt so strong!" Naruto said with a tone of finality before he exploded laughing at their faces. As they were still shell shocked, he explained, "I got ya'll! I mean I'm still the king of pranks dattebayo! Beside, I don't need you when I'm training, as it is just inhuman. Still levels behind Lee though..." Naruto confessed. Shikamaru was the only one to know exactly what Naruto felt.

"Sakura, Ino, I have one little advise for you. Get rid of your crush on Sasuke. What do you really know about him?" Naruto begun. Shikamaru immidiately used his Kage Mane to stop both girls. Naruto stopped holding his ninjato's handle as he continued, "Who knows? Maybe love is at your side. But let me tell you both, none of you have his clan killed... Apart me and Sasuke. But, since his real mission is to kill a certain snake and weasel, I'll let it slide, this once. Maybe I'll help him, maybe not, who knows?" Naruto said cryptically. He knew that none of them knows why Sasuke, or rather Sayuri who was known to him, Hiruzen, Tsunade and Kakashi, fled the village.

"Naruto, will you join us?" Choji asked and the blond smiled a bit. Then he nodded. After all, he have to satisfy his hunger. His training was going at an exponential rate, but he was afraid he won't make it to jonin...

"Naruto, what kind of training that kept you busy for all this time?" Kiba asked only for Naruto to grin and reply, "Not telling! Do I ask you about your clans hijitsus?"

Ino sighed and shook her head 'No'. But really, it bugged her like nothing else. However, it was their chance to be together, as the Konoha 12. Well, Konoha 11 for now...

"I never thought Naruto-kun would have this kind of apetite. A whole cow?" Hinata said in absolute shoc. Choji didn't say anything. Surprisingly, it was Shino to comment, "He ate ever the bones. What kind of animal does Naruto have inside?" Naruto laughed before he replied, "A Theropode. A big, hungry, savage theropode..." (Ironically, it is his second summoning, he tried summoning with his other hand and went to their savage lands. His encounter with them will be written as a side story)

Everyone blinked as Naruto sighed, "A meat eating Dinosaur, you know? Like the ancesstors of birds and distant cousins of crocodiles? By the way, Baa-chan should make a mini-exam for me, Shino, Neji and Lee soon..." Naruto said and the whole Konoha 11 stared at him. Naruto grumbled something along the line of, 'Fine, have it your way then!'

"Ne, Naruto-kun, do you know what love is?" Hinata asked Naruto who shook his head, 'No' and dissapeared in a shunshin to who knows where he went...

"Ouch!" Kiba said. 'Naruto definitely knew exactly where Hinata wanted to go' Shikamaru thought. Ino sighed as she realised that Naruto is distant by his own choice. Tenten, Neji and Lee went to their training ground. Team ten and Team eight did the same...

Naruto was now alone, thinking what he should do in his training. Taijutsu or Kenjutsu would be good, Fuinjutsu would be better. Ninjutsu would be much better. Kakashi dropped in and gave him a few instructions on how to master nature transformation. Naruto almost tore his hair as he started to get going. He decided to use wind first, as he have a fuinjutsu made to counter fire release...

"Okay, the jutsus I have are more than enough. My sword is ready, my seals are ready, my tactical mind engaged, so, let's get going!" Naruto said to Kakashi who eyesmiled at his student. Over the months, Naruto became closer and closer to the perfect shinobi. He learned about 10 wind jutsus, 5 water jutsus, 4 earth jutsus and 4 fire jutsus. He also became much better tactic wise, and could be described as the master of the Kage Bunshin. Also, he invented a few jutsus, the Futon : Rasengan and Futon : Fusa Giri are two of the most important. Also, Naruto told Kakashi the by the time he'll be fourteen, he'll master his Father's signature jutsu.

From anyone else, it would've been an empty boast, from Naruto, not so much... Kakashi was more than sure that the blond would be able to do it.

The reason why Naruto picked up jutsus this fast was definitely because he spammed a lot of kage bunshins. A lot each and every day for two months straight...

The results were spectacular. Naruto mastered all the elements he had, and learned a few jutsus as a temporary break to him. He swore that he'll sacrifice his humanity if he must to save Sayuri, he just didn't know how right he was.

As the two went to Kumogakure, Naruto was wearing a mask that covered his lower face, a hood over his head, and wore shades to hide his eyes. Kakashi told him that this would be for the best. Naruto didn't argue cause A. He got a few free clothes and B. Over the time, he developped a brothery bond with Kakashi and a fatherly/grandfatherly bond with Jiraiya. Tsunade told him that the A-rank Hijutsu was his mother's signature technique, but she never told him his parents name. Not until he becomes a chunin at least...

This was the only reason Naruto became obssessed with training. That and the fact that he swore to Sayuri that he will become a beast after he woke up in Kakashi's arms...

For now, it is a fight between him and his sanity. He hoped he won't regret what he'll do in the exam. He heard that the Kumo's version of the exam is surpassed only by Chikiri... That meant that he may let his savagery get the best of him. Well, like they say, better him than me!

AN : Yeah, this is just another story from Naruto's prespective. More will be added next time.

Next time, Naruto is promoted (duh!) and discovers something about himself...
