Chapter 2: The Revealing

First Year of the Academy

The first year of the academy has been pretty beneficial, Naruto and the class were currently outside running laps, Naruto ahead of the pack. Him being both an Uzumaki and a jinchuriki made sure that he was barely winded, and the fact that he has always been ridiculously fast.

Naruto had told Shino about his goal of becoming the best shinobi in history and the first step was to be the best in the academy. Due to that Shino told him during these kind of things he doesn't mind if they don't run together like everyone else does.

So far Naruto has been either first or tied for first in everything, ranging from testing to physical activities. The only one being able to tie him has been the Uchiha clan heir Sasuke. Sasuke also is one of the many boys that tries to talk to him and get him to become their 'girlfriend' and also because of his friendship with Shino, many have taken to glare at the stoic Aburame.

As expected Shino has shown no visual discomfort and has always been able to talk his way out of any confrontations that have arisen. Naruto on the other hand knew his best friend, who he had grown considerably closer too, could handle himself and just maintained his cold and aloof mask.

Naruto has also been able to find out why he had seen Itachi Uchiha smile at him the day of orientation. It seems that Itachi has been assigned to be his new body guard because Neko-nee-chan had been promoted to captain and was needed elsewhere. Naruto asked the boy about the smile and all Itachi had said that he had found it amusing that everyone thought of him as some little girl, and that any trained and highly experienced shinobi could easily tell that he was boy. He said he now understood why the Hokage likes to either let people figure it out or tell them.

Naruto has also been making progress with befriending Sakura, the only obstacle he has found was that Ino keeps intercepting. Now while Naruto was extremely popular with the boys some of the girls just straight despise him. On the other hand some of them have started to aspire to become a strong kunoichi like him. The ones that dislike him greatly like, Ami and a few others have been on the receiving end of some elaborate pranks that have led them utterly humiliated, and since no one but Shino and a few others know about his prankster side, no one suspects him.

Thinking about the first year of the academy made Naruto and others proud of him as he had finished with the top spot. That also means he was finally getting his mother's sword soon. He had also started practicing some beginners' katas with a bokken that Neko-nee-chan had given him.

Second Year of the Academy

The second year of the academy has been even more beneficial than the first, now they had begun to learn the beginning katas of the academy taijutsu that has been credited to being the gate way of learning any taijutsu you want. They have also began learning how to use and throw kunai. The final thing they were going to learn this year was how to escape from both ropes and ninja wire.

As predicted Naruto tried his hardest and mastered everything they taught him, soaking everything up like a sponge. This made the boys like him more and the girls hate him more, and thankfully more girls are now trying to aspire to become like him.

He has finally made a breakthrough in his trying to befriend Sakura, the only thing he had to do was just catch her alone when walking home alone one day. This has now led to Sakura becoming a close friend of his and he has decided to instead to just let her figure it out on whether he's a girl or not. Thanks to this he has also been able to influence her on being a much better kunoichi, though with her being a civilian born he knew not to push too much.

Naruto has also now received his mother's sword Benihime, an O-katana that had a pure white hilt and a crimson guard in the shape of the Uzumaki crest. The wood below the wrappings and the pommel being crimson red, as well as the blade of the sword itself. The sheathe being white with a red Chinese dragon going up it, the sword having a white Chinese dragon going up the blade to make this cool negative mirror effect. The sword is strapped to his back over his left shoulder on a crimson strap with a white Uzumaki crest being the clasp on the front of his chest. He being left handed is also something he got from his mother who he learned was also left handed.

Crow-nii also has gauged his efficiency with a sword around mid-genin, which is very impressive for an eight year old. Thinking about Crow-nii made him look at the empty seat in the front of the class, a week ago Crow-nii massacred his entire clan leaving only his mother and brother alive. Oji-sama said that both Sasuke and his mother were both in comas'. He was shocked when he learned of this. Crow-nii had become one of his most trusted people over the last year, what made Naruto sad was that Crow-nii had promised to take him to see this new movie out with this new actress name Yuki Fujikaze. He was sad for Sasuke growing up alone and hated made him understand him a little better than anyone here, at least he still had his mother.

Naruto and Shino are now as close as brothers and they have even stayed at eachothers houses from time to time. Naruto is now the unofficial second son of Kasumi Aburame who frequently makes sure Naruto is eating right and not blowing it all on ramen and pocky, stupid Crow-nii for getting him hooked on the awesome treat he thought before putting one in his mouth making Shino shake his head. Kasumi is the most eccentric Aburame one will ever meet, she basically acts like Naruto but that compared to a normal Aburame you might as well be some orange wearing hyper active idiot.

Third Year of Academy

Now nine, hey was a little younger than most of the other class, this also meant that he was also the shortest male in the class. Not that anyone knew this besides Shino and Iruka, Sakura though has now become one of Naruto's closest friends and has even taking a liking to Shino. The three of them can now usually be seen together, either training, walking around, or going to the movies or each other's houses.

Thinking of the first time going to Sakura's house made Naruto shiver, making Shino turn to look at him.

"What's the matter?" he asked his voice no longer being as monotone as it once was.

"I was just thinking about the first time we went to Sakura's house." Responded Naruto.

Hearing that made Shino start to laugh quietly before he tried to calm himself down before looking at Naruto and just cracking up. Making everyone think the Aburame had finally lost it, a few even ducked under their desks thinking that he would start throwing kunai.

"It's not that funny Shino, now stop laughing before Sakura gets here I told you I wanted her to figure out I'm a boy on her own." Whispered Naruto harshly, glaring at Shino whose shoulders were still shaking.

XXX FLASH BACK XXX

Naruto, Shino, and their new friend Sakura were walking around, they had finished training and they were all starting feeling hungry.

"Hey would you like to come over for dinner? My mom and dad have been wanting to meet you two for a while now." Said Sakura.

"Yeah sure why not. You up for it Shino? As a clan heir you need to become more social." Said Naruto.

"Yes Sakura, I would like that very much." Said Shino ignoring what Naruto said.

"Great my parents will be happy to finally meet you guys. C'mon let's go!" exclaimed Sakura grabbing Shino and Naruto's hand leading them to her house.

Arriving quickly Sakura let go of their hands and led them up the steps and into the house, walking in Sakura yelled, "I'm home! I also brought Shino-kun and Naru-chan!"

Naruto and Shino heard footsteps and saw that it was Sakura's mother Mebuki Haruno. She walked towards them and greeted Sakura with a kiss to the forehead before going to say hello to them before her eyes landed on Naruto.

"Oh my kami! Aren't you just the cutest thing I have ever seen! Sweetie you have the prettiest blue eyes I have ever seen!" said Mebuki before engulfing Naruto in a big hug.

"Honey, you need to come and see this little angel! Sakura has told us a lot about you Naru-chan, we are happy that our little girl wants to become a kunoichi like you." She said.

"And you must be Shino! Sakura said you were the heir of the Aburame clan, that's great." Finshed Mebuki.

Putting Naruto down, Naruto shook his head a little before following Mebuki to the kitchen. Walking in they saw the familiar star headed dark pink hair of Kizashi Haruno sitting at the table next to a woman with blonde hair and brown hair, a boy about the age of ten with brown hair and green eyes sitting next to her.

"Aunt Sayuko, Temujin? What are you guys doing here?" asked Sakura after giving her father a hug.

"Oh well we were near Konoha so we decided to just stop and visit you guys real fast before going back to the land of rice patties." Said Sayuko.

Temujin on the other hand had instantly focused on Naruto before getting up and approaching him.

"So, what's your name sweet cheeks?" said Temujin trying to act suave and smooth.

"My name is Naru not sweet cheeks." Naruto said glaring a little at being called sweet cheeks.

Temujin just smiled and leaned up against the wall and was about to say something before Kizashi decided to introduce himself.

"Why hello there kiddos the name is Kizashi, you must be Shino and Naru-chan correct?" asked Kizashi.

They nodded their heads before taking a seat at the table, Temujin quickly taking the open seat next to Naruto. Sakura seeing this glared at Temujin, she wanted to sit next to Naru-chan! Sayuko seeing how Temujin was acting could only smile, aww young love.

"Naru-chan you are probably the most adorable little girl I have ever seen in my life, well besides Sakura-chan that is." Said Sayuko saving herself from her sister's wrath.

Knowing that he wasn't allowed to correct anyone on their assumptions that he was a girl, only muttered a quiet thank you and continued ignoring Temujin opting to talk to Shino instead.

Soon Mebuki entered the kitchen with various bowls balanced on her arms, the smell was very enticing. Setting everything down she then handed everyone a plate and Naruto noticed it was a dish native to Kumo, Spaghetti and meatballs. (AN: I know it isn't but I'm too lazy to look something up.)

Soon everyone was eating and enjoying themselves except Naruto, who was still dealing with the annoying Temujin. Finally Temujin thought it would be a good idea to grab the end of a spaghetti noodle that Naruto was eating and place it into his mouth and began trying to meet Naruto in the middle.

Seeing this Sakura was about to say something when she saw everyone just watching, waiting to see what was going to happen. Naruto was soon brought out of his thoughts when he felt something tugging on his spaghetti, turning he noticed Temujin trying to kiss him!

Naruto noticed that Temujin had his eyes closed and was now just waiting for their lips to meet, thinking fast Naruto grabbed a meatball with his fork and shoved it into Temujin's face. Making Sakura, Shino, and the rest of the Harunos laugh heartily at Temujin's humiliation.

Temujin feeling embarrassed got up and glared at Naruto before going to clean up his face which now covered in sauce. Naruto just smirked back and stuck his tongue out him before joining everyone else in laughing.

XXX END FLASHBACK XXX

Naruto couldn't believe how persistent that kid was, he needed to learn how to take a hint. He was taken out of his thoughts of the arrival of Sakura as she sat down on the left side of the androgynous Uzumaki.

This year they learned how to unlock their chakra and how to do the leaf balancing exercise, what surprised everyone was that Naruto had the reserves of a genin. That for a nine year old was insane, and the fact that he also had high chakra control for someone with large reserves.

They also learned more about chakra theory, history, mathematics, strategizing, and more survival skills. Naruto of course also scored top scores in everything even at times beating out the 'prodigy' Sasuke Uchiha who now threatens any guy who tries to talk to Naruto, because he has now claimed 'her' as his.

Naruto couldn't wait to graduate.

Fourth Year of the Academy

A now ten year old Naruto stood across from his opponent, Sasuke Uchiha 'the prodigy'. This year they had started sparring so that they could gain fighting experience. Though Naruto got enough of that sparring against Shino and Sakura almost daily.

Sasuke looked at Naruto and smirked, "You should surrender now Naru-chan, I don't want to hurt my future bride." He said confidently.

Naruto just continued to stare at him before making the come hither motion at Sasuke who obliged and charged. He knew not to stay in a taijutsu battle with the Uchiha for long, they were about equal in skill, but he was bigger and a lot stronger physically. Naruto needed to rely on his superior speed, agility, and flexibility to win, but the Uchiha also had a very good reaction time so it was hard to catch him off guard.

Dodging the initial first strike Naruto went into Sasuke's guard and attempted to hit his solar plexus. Sasuke seeing this brought his arms up to deflect the hit but was surprised when Naruto spun and kicked him in the side. Gritting his teeth a bit Sasuke made some space and attacked again, this time punching Naruto in the gut. Naruto jumped back to regain his breath and had to dodge a flurry of punches and kicks, finding an opening Naruto firmly planted an elbow into Sasuke's solar plexus making him drop to the ground gasping for air.

Iruka quickly called the match in Naruto's favor and took Sasuke aside to help him regain his breath. Naruto ignoring the shocked looks of his classmates and walked towards Shino and Sakura. Shino smiled at him and quietly congratulated him on his win, it was the first time the two top students had faced off this year. They usually fought against other opponents, what confused the class though was that Naruto mainly faced off against boys.

"You did so good Naru-ku-" started Sakura before she could finish Shino had covered her mouth.

Looking at him Sakura nodded and Shino let her go, "Remember Sakura-chan you're supposed to call me Naru-CHAN not Naru-KUN." Said Naruto.

Nodding Sakura congratulated him on his win. Sakura had found out about Naruto's true gender on her own, though it did help that she had walked in on him when he had just gotten out of the shower and he had walked out naked. At first she was a little hurt that he hadn't told her but after hearing that the Hokage told him to do she forgave him.

What Sakura didn't tell Naruto was that she was a little relieved that he ended up being a boy, for a while there she thought she was turning gay. It's not that there was a problem with being gay it's just that she knew she liked boys, she just had never felt this way around what she perceived to be a female. Her crush on him started about six months ago, not that he knew that and she was starting to become confused with her sexuality so him being male made her feel a little relieved.

Soon Shino was called to spar against Choji, the result was what Naruto and Sakura expected it to be. Shino easily using his superior intellect to win the fight, usually an Aburame's weakness is taijutsu but constantly sparring against Naruto who is one of the best taijutsu fighters in the academy made sure that Shino improved on this weakness.

Sakura was called on to face her former friend Ino and this resulted in a rather one sided fight, with Sakura destroying the Yamanaka clan heir. The two stopped being friends when Sakura started to hang out more and more with Shino and Naruto. Ino was fairly peeved over the fact that Sakura became friends with the 'girl' that stole Sasuke-kun's affection from everyone and had told Sakura that they were no longer friends.

Soon they went through the rest of the matches and headed inside so that they could continue practicing the three academy jutsu they would need to master to pass. The kawarimi, the bunshin, and the henge, these were quickly mastered by Naruto and her two best friends so now they were just trying to increase their hand seal speed and attempting to use the three jutsu sealessly.

Naruto also improved his speed, agility, flexibility, and her skill in taijutsu, kenjutsu, and his skill in throwing weapons. He also started to play shogi with Shino and had even gone against Shikamaru a couple times, he was proud to say that he had made him sweat a couple times before losing.

Walking in made Naruto smirk because next year they were going to start teaching a certain subject that would then lead everyone to know his secret. Oh he couldn't wait to see Kiba's and Sasuke's faces when they learned the truth.

Last year of the Academy: Three Months before the Final Exam

Over this last year Naruto had been able to completely master the three academy jutsu as well as secure the top spot for rookie of the year, though everyone thought it would be kunoichi of the year.

"Though all those thoughts will stop today." Said the eleven year old Naruto quietly to himself.

Sasuke Uchiha looked at Naru Uzumaki and smirked, while he and the rest of the guys noticed that 'she' didn't really have much going on like 'her' friend Sakura Haruno who had a really nice ass, or a really good figure like Ino Yamanaka, or a huge rack like they surprisingly discovered Hinata Hyuga had, they all knew 'she' still had the most beautiful face anyone of them had ever seen.

They all just presumed that 'she' was just a late bloomer and in a couple of years 'she' will be a bombshell. Sasuke couldn't help but think of the strong children 'she' would produce for him, not that he would admit it out loud, Naru was better at him in just about everything though he had matched her in a few things and had even won some of their most recent spars. Yes 'she' would make the perfect 'wife' for him, though when he had told his mother about 'her' she began laughing and just told him good luck.

"Okay class, now today as future shinobi you are going to have to learn about the birds and the bees and of your own and the opposite sexes bodies. So will the girls all get and head down to classroom 2-C." said Iruka, a smirking inwardly knowing that his students were going to get the shock of their life time.

The sandaime began to laugh evilly as he watched through his crystal ball, "Oh this is going to be good." He said out loud, making the ANBU hidden in the shadows also giggle a bit.

Quickly following orders the girls all got up and headed to the door, stopping for a second Ino noticing someone missing turned around and saw Naru still sitting next to Shino.

"Hey Naru! C'mon we have to head to classroom 2-C weren't you listening?" she said gaining everyone's attention.

"I know, I heard what Iruka-sensei said but I'm supposed to stay with the rest of the guys or else it would be against the rules." Said Naruto, smirking evilly.

"What do you mean it would be against the rules? You're not a-" began Sasuke, before his eyes widened comically.

"WAIT YOU'RE A FUCKING GUY!" yelled Sasuke in horror.

"Yup!" said Naruto cheerfully giving everyone a cute smile.

Instantly all the guys rushed to the windows and began to heave up their lunch.

"I WAS CRUSHING ON A GUY!" yelled one.

"I'VE HAD WET DREAMS ABOUT HIM!" yelled Kiba making all the others throw up more.

"I WAS PLANNING TO HAVE YOU BE MY WIFE, AND THAT WE WOULD HAVE LOTS OF KIDS! DAMN YOU MOTHER YOU KNEW!" yelled Sasuke between upchucks.

All the girls just stared at Naruto in shock all of them except, Sakura and Hinata, thinking the same thought.

"I WAS JEALOUS OF A BOY!" they all thought in horror.

They were all brought out of their shock and horror when they heard, Shino laughing like a lunatic Naruto, Sakura, Shikamaru, and Iruka soon joining him.

The rest of the class glared at them and all shouted, "YOU ALL KNEW!" they all yelled as one, making them all laugh harder.

In his office Sarutobi was on the floor laughing like he was insane, a thud was heard as one of the ANBU fell out of his hiding place from laughing too much. Soon the entire office was filled with hysterical laughter that was heard throughout the village making the villagers look at their leaders office in worry.

Naruto was on the ground thinking, "Oh this was soooo worth it." He said, making Shino and Sakura nod as well.
